Re: Passing arguments to rxvt when it is used as an argument for chere
Yep those are the two ways to do it. There's no way to specify extra arguments on the chere command line that will be appended to the invocation command. May I ask what command line options you're thinking of adding? Could they go into .Xdefaults instead? Most rxvt and xterm options can. Dave. chere maintainer. Hi I don't tend to run an xserver so rxvt runs in native mode when invoked via chere. All was working ok but then an issue described here http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-09/msg00359.html occurred so I needed some was to make the chere invoked rxvt appear with the correct font. I solved it with a bit of sed: - $ cat chere.sh chere -ipcf2 -t rxvt -s bash | sed 's! -e /bin! -fn \\Lucida\ Console-bold-12\\ -rv -ls -sb -sr -tcw -sl 3000 -e /bin!' /tmp/$$.sh chmod 755 /tmp/$$.sh /tmp/$$.sh rm /tmp/$$.sh Regards Richard -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

The .Xdefaults solution will affect all instances of rxvt, not just the one spawned by chere. There is a way to distinguish those instances by name, but then you'd still need to at least set the name, which means passing arguments via chere. This is also a reply to Dave (the chere maintainer) regarding why someone would want to pass arguments to rxvt.

Yep, I've been aware of that for a while - which is why I asked what the OP was trying solve. I've just been a bit slow updating chere since there haven't been many specific requests/problem reports for it. Anyway, I'll bump this up my priority list.

Passing arguments to rxvt when it is used as an argument for chere
Hi I see from this post http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-06/msg00465.html that somebody appears to have passed some arguments to rxvt when it is used as an argument for chere. Is this possible to do this by invoking chere in some way or is it necessary to edit the Windows registry to pass arguments? Thanks Richard -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

(this is how I did it) 2) run chere with -p and use the output as base for a script. chere -i -p -t rxvt -s bash Regards Marco ___ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo!
