During the investigation of Cloud Control Not Starting Automatically in OVM_EM12R2, I found that the sudo command was not installed in OVM template for EM12C R2 from e-delivery (part no. B70250-01).
Oracle Bug 15860489
Use su to create a separate shell.
Running as root, I used the service --status-all to get the following output:
acpid is stopped Avahi daemon is running Avahi DNS daemon is not running crond (pid 1454) is running...

It would appear the sudo command cannot be found in the VM! I verified this as follows:
find / -name sudo -type f -printNo results were returned!
