By default abduco attempts to launch dvtm if `abduco -c` is run with no
command argument. I didn't have dvtm installed, so the resulting error
message was:
server-execvp: No such file or directory
My first thought was that abduco was implicitly relying on a program
called 'server-execvp'. Anyway, I made a simple fix to include the
command name given to execvp(3) as part of the error message.
$ abduco -c test
server-execvp: dvtm: No such file or directory
$ abduco -c test badname
server-execvp: badname: No such file or directory
