Question
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device

While trying to start Unicorn, with the command $: sudo service unicorn_myapp start I get the following result. bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell
From then on, it locks me out of sudo with this message sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
I can get back in to opening a new terminal but the problem repeats itself.
I have no clue how to fix this. I have been following this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-rails-app-with-unicorn-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04 and used rbenv and postgresql per the prerequisites.
Any ideas how to fix this?

This is likely due to a shell script being asked to act as an interactive process. You should be able to address this by removing the
ifrom the shell script you’re running, but this should also be resolved with newer packages if you were to run through this guide again.
