I would like to, and in fact I've already tried, but urxvt is trickier than other shells. Using the command you gave me does not create a new window, tested both on XMonad and Gnome. This is the error you can see using the option "-hold", this way:
urxvt --hold -e "echo a"
This opens a new window with the error: *urxvt: Unable to exec child. *
I think you misunderstood; as I read it (and as I would expect it to work given the above descrtiption) that would be urxvt --hold -e sh -c 'echo a' -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
