   I haven't yet read it, but a first glance looked promising. Thanks for the   
   link.

   Here it is, I've put it in place of the "spawn("mastermind")" command in the   
   opendoor.bz script:   
      
   system("/usr/bin/nethack",0,0);   
      
   Looks simple enough. OS is Cent OS 6.5 x86_64.   
      
   Kind regards,
