I don't think you're going to be happy when somebody uses you to launch a DDOS:

  system("ping -c 2 8.8.8.8");

  PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=55 time=1.98 ms
  64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=2 ttl=55 time=1.75 ms

And as rikkus pointed out, there's no timeout on runs too. This is just asking for trouble.
