This is wrong:

if (*argv[0] == 1)

argv[0] is a string which is the name of your program. Dereferencing it (with *) gives you the first character. It will never match 1 which is a non-printing ASCII code. Instead:

if (strcmp(argv[1], "1") == 0)

That will check if the first argument to the program (not its name) is the string "1".
