213<p>If you want to start urxvtd automatically whenever you run
214urxvtc and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:</p>
215<pre>
216 #!/bin/sh
217 urxvtc &quot;$@&quot;
218 if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
219 urxvtd -q -o -f
220 urxvtc &quot;$@&quot;
221 fi</pre>
222<p>This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
223meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
224re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
225existing daemon.</p>
