78=head3 How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically when I run URXVT_NAME@@c?
79
80If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
81@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:
82
83 #!/bin/sh
84 @@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"
85 if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
86 @@URXVT_NAME@@d -q -o -f
87 @@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"
88 fi
89
90This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
91meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
92re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
93existing daemon.

898Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS.
899
900=item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM.
901
902For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use
903C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent.
904
905=item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running.
906
907=item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode.
908
909When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to
910C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. Youc an see what input
