<p>This manpage describes the <strong>rxvtc</strong> client program. It connects |
| 41 |
|
|
to the <strong>rxvtd</strong> daemon and requests a new terminal window. It |
| 42 |
|
|
takes the same arguments as the <strong>rxvt</strong> program. The environment |
| 43 |
root |
1.1 |
will also be respected. Currently, it always returns immediately after |
| 44 |
|
|
contacting the daemon.</p> |

<p>All options that are valid for <strong>rxvt</strong> are valid for |
| 50 |
|
|
<strong>rxvtc</strong>, too. Please note that options are interpreted in the |
| 51 |
|
|
context of the daemon process. However, as current working directory, |
| 52 |
root |
1.6 |
process environment and any file descriptor (e.g. for <code>-pty-fd</code>) are |
| 53 |
root |
1.5 |
preserved, this rarely makes a difference.</p> |

<p>If everything went well, rxvtc returns with an exit status of <code>0</code>. |

If contacting the daemon fails, it exits with the exit status <code>2</code>. In all other error |

cases it returns with status <code>1</code>.</p> |
| 61 |
|
|
<p>This can be used to implement auto-starting behaviour, by checking for an |

root |

exit status of <code>2</code>, running <code>rxvtd -f -q</code> and retrying the call |
| 63 |
