    Thank you for your attempt, but it is clear that we have communication issues.

    From my understanding the only thing the current code will do is identify who is connected (so to speak through the execv"/usr/bin/who, the arguments are not identified.
    The execv function is not supposed to do that. That was your job in task 3. Assuming you have done task 3, you then have all the words that you need to pass to execv -- the first arg is the command to run, the second arg are the command line arguments that you have identified.

    Solved

    I have found the solution, i needed to develop the code that the execvp does but use the execv, so i needed to create a search binary.
