Configuration
After executing the commands to spawn a TTY shell I tend to run the following (allows you to clear the terminal output):
1
$ export TERM=xterm-color
Spawn TTY
The following commands should be executed from the Linux command line. What TTY you’re able to spawn will come down to available shells on the host - cat /etc/shells
