Unless I overlooked, you didn't described what your intent is.

I hope to answer part of your question about tabs:

I personally gave up with urxvt-managed tabs a long time ago.
IMHO tabs are a component of the window-manager. That means, the WM must
give you the power to manage them properly

$ urxvt -name yourname -e bash -c "ls; read;"
And set specific resources in your ~/.Xdefaults / ~/.Xresources for
"yourname".

The drawback is that a new tab can't depends in any way of a currently
opened tab. Was it part of your original request?

This leads one to inter-process-communication issues.
Hacks are possible since many WM let one knows which window had the focus
and grab some (mostly graphical) properties of this window (PID,
classname, ... [xprop]). Although from the PID some things may be
possible, this appears ... suboptimal.


Speaking about IPC, you may want to ask Marc about implementing dbus
hooks/signals inside urxvt ;)
