vsts build Agent Shell provide password

Question

I'm currently creating a build agent for our DevOps. With the agent I want to stop solr via shell script on the unix server. The problem is, I need to insert a password, to stop the service.

Is there a simple way to provide the password in the shell script? The current script:

service solr stop

throws the following error:

I also tried to provide the password on the script, like:

echo <password> | sudo -S service solr stop

It works on the server locally, but the buildserver throws:

2020-03-12T12:52:17.9543478Z Successfully connected.
2020-03-12T12:52:17.9545108Z echo *** | sudo -S service solr stop

2020-03-12T12:52:23.5019910Z ##[section]Finishing: stop solr

Any other ideas how I could remotely stop solr with a shell script?
