sudo requires a tty to run

Are you sure? My sudo (unmodified Slackware64-13.37, i.e. unmodified sudo-1.7.4p6) does not require a tty or an askpass helper program when configured that way.

You will not be able to run sudo on a crontab or cgi.

Well, my system allows sudo from CGI. The CGI user is explicitly allowed to invoke a selected program via sudo, without a password.
