"clear" and "reset" bash commands broken

AviJacobson · 06-29-2006, 03:13 PM

I recently noticed upon exiting from root in a bash shell (i.e., "exit" after "su -") that I got an error "-bash: clear: command not found"

I couldn't figure out why this was happening, so I tried entering "clear" in a command prompt window, both as a user and as root. In both cases, I noticed that neither "clear" nor "reset" works in bash, and neither binary can be found on my filesystem. How did this happen? How do I fix it?

I'm using FC4, kernel 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4.

Thanks.
