ssh -t deploy@203.0.113.10 sudo systemctl status nginx
Run sudo remotely with a forced pseudo-terminal
The -t flag allocates a pseudo-terminal, which sudo requires when prompting for a password — without it you get 'sudo: no tty present'. This runs one command on the server and returns, the building block of remote administration. Add -tt if even the sudo prompt needs a TTY.
