[SOLVED] read: read error: 0: Resource temporarily unavailable

Issue

I am running a bash script which reads certain values from STDIN. I have seen several folks hit the same error without any clear resolution or a resolution that worked for me.

 set -x 

 ./.clean

 { set +x; } 2> /dev/null

 read -p "Avoid using a public cloud:  [yn]? " avoidloud

The above read command gives a

 read: read error: 0: Resource temporarily unavailable

Any help is appreciated.

Re-directing did not help either.

Solution

Can you try this for redirection?

exec 3<&0 </dev/null
read -r avoidloud<&3
