Hmm, wouldn't you be better putting
foo: "|cat >>/usr/local/bin/majordomo.txt"
in you alias file? Why re-invent the wheel.
The problem (I would think) is that the fopen is failing. The feof bit
is wrong too. It should read:
int ch;
FILE *output = fopen( "/usr/local/bin/majordomo.txt", "a+" );
if( output )
{
while( ch = getchar(), ch != EOF )
putc( ch, output );
fclose(output);
}
else
perror( "/usr/local/bin/majordomo.txt" );
