sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

Well, yes, nq runs the applications noninteractively, so there is no way it can ask for a password.

You can use sudo -v to unlock sudo first, but note that this will still fail when the previous jobs took too long for the ticket to timeout.

Alternatively, you can run sudo nq ..., but then the ,*-file is root-readable only.
