Re: Issue with rxvt


I am just guessing here, but I might be right (You may check with rxvt source code and/or 'man rxvt', I no time and don't use it).

Without '-e bash', rxvt calls the much simpler, scaled-down 'ash' which is not able to understand more advanced terminal control escape sequences but bash is. And see to it that '- e bash' is always the last on command line (if you give rxvt other options, that's how xterm behaves I guess rxvt follows that too)

Glad it helps,
Greg

Thank you very much, Gregory!

What is different about a -e that turns on the escape-code
recognition?


What about trying?:


rxvt -e bash
