C编程管只有一半工作

I'm working on a mini shell for a college assignment. We have to read in the command, find the binary to execute from the path var, and execute command, both with and without pipes. I have everything working (I think) except for the pipe. Through web searches I've been able to build a test program that use two hard coded commands and pipes one to the other, with the expected results. Now when I copy and paste that code into my actual program, the first command outputs fine (actually outputs the command as if there were no pipe), while the second I don't think actually does anything (the output from the first is not piped through to the second).I'm working on a mini shell for a college assig
