Method a:

Go and sit in front of the keyboard on the other linux server, run the 
script and read the screen.

Method b:

Use telnet to login to your account on the other server, run the script.

To run your script on someone elses machine usually needs you to be able 
to access their machine somehow. Either you are permitted to do it, in 
which case you should already know how to do it, or you're not permitted 
to do it, in which case we're not going to teach you how to do it here.
