I was able to generate ssh keys and thus avoid need to enter password while doing ssh from server1 to server2. :-)
But, I am trying to do sudo from local_script which I think is the proper way to do it but facing same problem, it doesn't show prompt after sudo command to enter password. May be because I am sending this code from one server to other.
Error that I am getting is
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Any suggestions please?

One thing to mention here is I don't want to enter password from script. It is ok if it prompts for password and wait till user enters password manually.
My problem here is that scripts doesn't stop/wait on password prompt for user to enter the password. :-(

vipw

VIPW(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   VIPW(8)

NAME

       vipw - edit the password file

SYNOPSIS

       vipw

DESCRIPTION

       Vipw  edits  the  password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked.
       If the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later.	The vi editor will be used unless the  environment
       variable EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.

       Vipw  performs  a  number  of consistency checks on the password entries, and will not allow a password file with a ``mangled'' entry to be
       installed.  If vipw rejects the new password file, the user is prompted to re-enter the edit session.

       Once the information has been verified, vipw uses mkpasswd(8) to update the user database.  This is run in the  background,  and,  at  very
       large  sites  could  take  several minutes.  Until this update is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates and the new
       information will not be available to programs.
