I gave up on urxvtcd when I realized that a single crash brings down all your terminals. Nowadays I use stock xterm, since while I was dallying with urxvt, xterm got the one feature I cared about from urxvt, which was URGENT-on-bell.
- antihero 14y agoI'm not sure how to port color/font config from my urxvt config to xterm. Googling only seems to tell me to how to change background/foreground, not the individual colours. Also, Is there any reason not to use just urxvt (without the client/daemon setup)? I've never had a crash that has brought down all of my clients, however.
- codygman 14y agoThere is no reason not to use urxvt in the normal mode, as it behaves just like xterm would (not exactly of course, but one crashing won't lose all of them).
- philsnow 14y agono, no reason not to use plain urxvt without the client/daemon bit. at the time, I think I was on some kind of network where urxvt's terminfo wasn't likely to be installed anywhere. I know I could install it everywhere in ~/.terminfo or whatever, but it was a pain to get to a new host and realize that I hadn't set it up. I went back to xterm.
