What is on Your Mind?
I'm writing a new Linux program!

I agree with all points made here....
Although......
It was never my intention to release this program, and it was the header to a post requesting help with a little bit of C lore (which Driver fixed up for me! 
). This was purely an exercise to learn more about the C language. I agree that there is one ls program too many (and that's called "d" - it's a GNU command) already and I wouldn't inflict suffering on the *nix world by releasing another! 
I think the main thing is the point about waiting until some viable code is available before making an announcement.
Anyways, I will say good luck and I sincerely hope that 1) it helps your knowledge of programming improve, and 2) you release a successful project.
Cheers
ZB

mesg
MESG(1) Linux Programmer's Manual MESG(1) NAME
mesg - display (do not display) messages from other users SYNOPSIS
mesg [n|y] DESCRIPTION
The mesg utility is invoked by a users to control write access others have to the terminal device associated with the standard error out- put. If write access is allowed, then programs such as talk(1) and write(1) may display messages on the terminal. Traditionally, write access is allowed by default. However, as users become more conscious of various security risks, there is a trend to remove write access by default, at least for the primary login shell. To make sure your ttys are set the way you want them to be set, mesg should be executed in your login scripts. Options available: n Disallows messages. y Permits messages to be displayed. If no arguments are given, mesg displays the present message status to the standard error output. The mesg utility exits with one of the following values: 0 Messages are allowed. 1 Messages are not allowed. >1 An error has occurred. FILES
/dev/[pt]ty[pq]? SEE ALSO
biff(1), talk(1), write(1), wall(1), login(1), xterm(1) HISTORY
A mesg command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX. AVAILABILITY
The mesg command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. Linux 1.2 10 March 1995 MESG(1)
