This was more complicated than I expected, because the message to 
display must be put in a form that won't confuse the shell (think 
metacharacters). Right now, I put the message between double quotes, and 
escape with a backslash the characters (&) (!) (") and (\). I don't know 
if this is enough.
Don't use system, use fork/exec. Would be safer.
Have a nice day.
