ant: command not found

I am having some trouble running ant. Here is a simplified verison of my problem. I have a shell script script1.sh:

export ANT_HOME=/opt/Ant
ant -version

This works. but when I try create another script script2:

cd /location/of/script1
sudo -E ./script1.sh | tee log.txt

I get the error ant: command not found. Does anyone know why this is happening.

Without knowing what shell, or seeing more of the scripts it's hard to tell exactly what is happening. But if you want script2 to know about ANT_HOME you're probably going to need to source or eval script1. See here. Also I know pipes '|' cause Bash to perform operations within sub-shells which can be problematic under certain circumstances (if you're using Bash).

EDIT: Double check that you are using the version of ant that you think you are:

#!/bin/bash
# Capital A here seems suspicious to me...
export ANT_HOME=/opt/Ant
echo "`${ANT_HOME}/ant -version`"

Sounds like you're losing your PATH setting after sudo. Try adding echo $PATH in script1.sh to see the before and after values. Or just define script1.sh as

export ANT_HOME=/opt/Ant
${ANT_HOME}/ant -version
