Are you executing this as root? If so, root only runs programs in its'
path -- you'd have to do something like a "./telltime" if that were the case.
Yes, you should be able to cat the file as a plain text file (that's what
it is). Try doing a "chmod +x telltime" to give everyone executable access
and see if that works.
