Really stupid print minute

Did you ever just want to find out what the current minute is for every 10 seconds? Look no further.

print_minute.c is a program that will print the current minute of the system. The program will detect if the current minute has changed since the hard-coded minute in the program.

If current minute is different from now, it will:

  • Open up itself and read, line by line
    • Stop at line 8 and inject the new minute
  • Open a new file called temp
  • Write all contents and the newly injected minute to temp
  • Rename(move) temp to print_minute.c
  • Compile itself with make(make -s build)
  • Run recompiled version within the same process.
