I'm allowed to do:
sudo /usr/bin/rootsh -i -u user
Additionally I want do something like:
echo 'date' | sudo /usr/bin/rootsh -i -u user
Here I get the answer:
no tty/pty on stdin: Not a typewriter
Any idea how to solve this?

Not sure if you are able to make that work. rootsh as I understand from the manuals are made function as a wrapper. Taken from the man-page "rootsh - a logging wrapper for shells"
This makes me think that it tries to take control over the terminal and not "stdin".

What version of rootsh are you running? – David Bern – 2016-12-23T10:38:24.733
Where looking at the source-code at https://sourceforge.net/p/rootsh/code/ci/master/tree/src/rootsh.c
Version 1.5.4 should work, as far I can understand from the code at row 363.
Im not a user myself. But if possible, please provide version number
