You really don't want to use bash "$0" here. That runs a new instance
of your script, but it leaves the old one suspended in memory, waiting
for the new instance to finish. Once the new instance finishes, the
original instance continues. So, depending on how many times the
user gives bad input, you could have dozens or hundreds of instances
of your script in memory simultaneously, and once the user gives valid
input, they'll all run, one after the other, in reverse order, using the
bad inputs.
If you want to loop until the user gives valid input, use while or until.
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
clear
echo
read -p "Ingrese un número entero de hasta 2 cifras : " min
read -p "Ingrese otro número entero de hasta 2 cifras, mayor que el
anterior : " max
if ((${#min} > 2 || ${#max} > 2)); then
echo "Deben ser números de hasta 2 cifras..."
read -p "Pulse ENTER para continuar..."
elif ((min >= max)); then
echo "The second number must be larger..."
read -p "Pulse ENTER para continuar..."
else
break
fi
done
