Interaction is not the only guard in 2(c). The interaction that the
program receives from the user must consist of "commands". The only
sensible interpretation is that those commands must be commands that
the program itself obeys (or tries to obey). I cannot see how "df" can
fit that bill.

Similarly, "cat" is able to interact with the user (if we stretch that
concept (in)appropriately), it does not interpret its input from the
user as commands, so 2(c) does not apply to it.
