222.PP
223If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
224@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:
225.PP
226.Vb 6
227\& #!/bin/sh
228\& @@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"

231\& @@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"
232\& fi
233.Ve
234.PP
235This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
236meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
237re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
238existing daemon.
