It works for everyone else. You must have a bug.

open() and close() modify the file descriptor table. No, you cannot bypass them and fiddle with the kernel tables directly.

You need to start with the basics and work your way up. You're trying to write a shell, but you're having difficulty when you open and close files. You should consider a less ambitious project until you get a little bit more experience.

Nevermind. I figured it out for anyone who cares:

open a file
dup2(file, 1)
execute
