My sudoers has a Default "requiretty" that prevents sudo commands in
scripts etc. I had a situation where I'd like to allow this for a
particular user+command combination. [am running a remote reboot script as
a specific system user]

I dislike the too-broad approach of just removing the "Defaults
requiretty" line.

Is it possible to just allow a certain sudo directive to be OK even without
a tty?

This is just a WAG:

In /etc/sudoers:
Defaults>rahul !requiretty
