in this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … background
it says Note: Instead of using <application name="URxvt">, you can use another name ("URxvt-bg" for example), and use the -name option when starting uxrvt. That way, only the urxvt terminals which you choose to name URxvt-bg would be captured and modified by the application rule in rc.xml. For example: urxvt -name URxvt-bg (case sensitive)
so i tought i could launch one with urxvt and other with urxvt-bg but it doesnt explain how to do it. i tryed editing the rc.xml file with urxvt-bg but i dont have urxvt-bg

What do you mean?

If you mean that

you don't have a section in the rc.xml file then create one.
you don't have a binary named urxvt-bg then reread the text. "urxvt-bg" is not the application, it's the name it should use. Set it using urxvt's "-name" option. The text gives you an example. Pay attention to the case too, as you are mixing "URxvt-bg" and "urxvt-bg".

If you meant something else, please try to be clearer. What exactly have you done? What changes have you made to rc.xml and what command are you using to launch the instances of urxvt?
