I know this may be a totally newbie question (I haven't touched C in a long while), but can someone tell me why this isn't working?
printf("Enter command: ");
bzero(buffer,256);
fgets(buffer,255,stdin);
if (strcmp(buffer, "exit") == 0)
return 0;
If I enter "exit" it doesn't enter the if, does it have to do with the length of "buffer"?
Any suggestions?

strcmp() in C/C++This function takes two strings as arguments and compare these two strings lexicographically. Syntax: int strcmp(const char *leftStr, const char *rightStr ); In the above prototype, function srtcmp takes two strings as parameters and returns an integer value based on the comparison of strings.
The return value from strcmp is 0 if the two strings are equal, less than 0 if str1 compares less than str2 , and greater than 0 if str1 compares greater than str2 . No other assumptions should be made about the value returned by strcmp .
strcmp returns -1 (less than 0), 0 (equal) or 1 (greather than 0).
You want to do this:
strcmp(buffer, "exit\n")
That is, when you enter your string and press "enter", the newline becomes a part of buffer.
Alternately, use strncmp(), which only compares n characters of the string
