NAME
urxvtd - urxvt terminal daemonSYNOPSIS
urxvtd [-q|--quiet] [-o|--opendisplay] [-f|--fork]urxvtd -q -o -f # for .xsession use
DESCRIPTION
This manpage describes the urxvtd daemon, which is the same vt102 terminal emulator as urxvt, but runs as a daemon that can open multiple terminal windows within the same process.You can run it from your X startup scripts, for example, although it is not dependent on a working DISPLAY and, in fact, can open windows on multiple X displays on the same time.
Advantages of running a urxvt daemon include faster creation time for terminal windows and a lot of saved memory.
The disadvantage is a possible impact on stability - if the main program crashes, all processes in the terminal windows are terminated. For example, as there is no way to cleanly react to abnormal connection closes, "xkill" and server resets/restarts will kill the urxvtd instance including all windows it has opened.
OPTIONS
urxvtd currently understands a few options only. Bundling of options is not yet supported.- -q, --quiet
- Normally, urxvtd outputs the message "rxvt-unicode daemon listening on <path>" after binding to its control socket. This option will suppress this message (errors and warnings will still be logged).
- -o, --opendisplay
- This forces urxvtd to open a connection to the current $DISPLAY and keep it open.
This is useful if you want to bind an instance of urxvtd to the lifetime of a specific display/server. If the server does a reset, urxvtd will be killed automatically.
- -f, --fork
- This makes urxvtd fork after it has bound itself to its control socket.
EXAMPLES
This is a useful invocation of urxvtd in a .xsession-style script:urxvtd -q -f -o
This waits till the control socket is available, opens the current display and forks into the background. When you log-out, the server is reset and urxvtd is killed.
ENVIRONMENT
- RXVT_SOCKET
- Both urxvtc and urxvtd use the environment variable RXVT_SOCKET to create a listening socket and to contact the urxvtd, respectively. If the variable is missing, $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-<nodename> is used. The variable must specify the absolute path of the socket to create.
- DISPLAY
- Only used when the "--opendisplay" option is specified. Must contain a valid X display name.
