Yea, uxb3 is the hostname(uxb3.wiu.edu). I know it is Unix. I can access the school's Unix server from anywhere using any computer with the program Putty <PuTTY Download Page> .... which I then log in to "toolman"(which is also the hostname) using command "ssh toolman.wiu.edu" and can log in with my username/password for the school's system. I do not know if
Code:
 uname -a

works on any of the systems. I can get back to you with some betters answers about the actual systems by Monday when I can ask someone at the university's IT dept.

Nevermind, I made a typo here:

Quote:
printf("%s!\n", argv[1]);
In which, I forgot to type '\' after the exclamation point. Problem solved.
