Hello, I have a bash script running on one server, but I am executing it from a different server. So here is the way I'm calling it in the script:

ssh server "./script.sh"

and then it goes from there. Now in script.sh, the script is menu based and there are a bunch of read statments asked which then turn into variables. What I want to do to make the script look a little better as the user is going through is have a clear after each read statement. This of course works when executing the script from the server itself, but not when executing the script from another server. Here's the error:

The script must be executed from this other server and not from the server with the actual script. How can I do this? Thank you.

Have you tried adding something like

after the #!/bin/bash line?

set the TERM variable to some useful value inside the script itself. What kind of terminal are you running the ssh from?

What do you mean? I'm running it from PuTTY. Setting TERM to anything in both the symlink and the script does not work.

Did you remember to export it?
