Hey,  
Isn’t the problem with this part:

```go
			err := command.Run()
			if err != nil {
				fmt.Fprintln(errors, cmd+": command not found")
			}

```

?  
You get the

```auto
cat: nonexistent: No such file or directory

```

from the cat command itselt but the command returns an error so you handle it by displaying

```auto
cat: command not found

```

if you were to just ignore the err you would probably get the correct output
