<p>This manpage describes the rxvtd daemon, which is the same vt102 |
42 |
|
|
terminal emulator as rxvt, but runs as a daemon that can open |
43 |
root |
1.1 |
multiple terminal windows within the same process.</p> |
44 |
|
|
<p>You can run it from your X startup scripts, for example, although it is |
45 |
|
|
not dependent on a working DISPLAY and, in fact, can open windows on |
46 |
|
|
multiple X displays on the same time.</p> |
47 |
root |
1.5 |
<p>Advantages of running a rxvt daemon include faster creation time |
48 |
root |
1.1 |
for terminal windows and a lot of saved memory.</p> |
49 |
|
|
<p>The disadvantage is a possible impact on stability - if the |
50 |
|
|
main program crashes, all processes in the terminal windows are |
51 |
|
|
terminated. For example, as there is no way to cleanly react to abnormal |
52 |
|
|
connection closes, <code>xkill</code> and server resets/restarts will kill the |
53 |
root |
1.5 |
<strong>rxvtd</strong> instance including all windows it has opened.</p> |

<p>Normally, <strong>rxvtd</strong> outputs the message <code>rxvt-unicode daemon |
64 |

<p>This forces <strong>rxvtd</strong> to open a connection to the current |

root |

71 |
root |
1.7 |
<p>This is useful if you want to bind an instance of <strong>rxvtd</strong> to |
72 |
