Hi!

distro - crux http://crux.nu/
wm - blackbox
problem - mrxvt 0.5.4
source - http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...t-0.5.4.tar.gz


My goal is to open ALL my terminal (CLI) programs into ONE mrxvt window through the blackbox menu.


------------------------------
The mrxvt(1) manual says this.
------------------------------
-display|-d displayname
X display name, the X server to contact


-into WinID
If given an X window identifier, mrxvt will reparent its top-level shell widget to that window. This is used to embed mrxvt within other aplications.
-------------------------------

So, if I got this right, I need to do this. Here are my two terminals
1. mrxvt -display hello
2. mrxvt -into hello

BUT!

bash-3.2$ mrxvt -display hello
Error opening display hello

Nothing happens. How do I solve this?

I've found a solution! And I must share it! You never know if anyone else bumps into the same problem.

this is a mrxvt faq, and it has this interesting question/answer.

Q: How do I let each tab execute different applications when mrxvt starts?

A: You can set command for each tab in ~/.mrxvtrc as the following example:

Mrxvt.profile1.background: #000040
nice--> Mrxvt.profile1.command: !mc
Mrxvt.profile1.tabTitle: "Midnight Commander"

Mrxvt.profile2.command: telnet www.mitbbs.com
Mrxvt.initProfileList: 0,1,2

This will open three tabs on startup containing the shell, mc and telnet.
See /etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc.sample for a more complete example.
