Sudo command not found (error in Jenkins execute shell)

Question

When I'm executing a unix command in jenkins job (through execute shell) with sudo, it throws error like this:

..../bin/sh -xe /tmp/hudson7505852448142784880.sh
+ sudo whoami 
/tmp/hudson7505852448142784880.sh: line 2: sudo: command not found

Jenkins runs with 'jenkins` user. Just cause it works in terminal with your logged in user, doesn't mean that it's configured to work with 'jenkins' user.

From your terminal, do:
sudo su jenkins
and then try running sudo from jenkins's user
