You can set the appropriate PS1 characters/parameters in your .bashrc file, which urxvt should run when it comes up (assuming that urxvt is running a bash cell). I remember an article in wiki about this and I am sure there are a few listed in Google - have a look and if you don't find it get back to us. If you can hack the engine room approach for the basics without your eyes glazing over have a look at man bash - you are looking for the section PROMPTING, 2000+ lines down the page.
