[solved] launch urxvt running multiple applications in different tabs

Some time ago I switched from xfce4-terminal to urxvt. In the Xresources file I set tabbedex. I added urxvt in autostart file (Openbox, standalone). Urxvt opens automatically and prints a 2 week calendar (remind). Is it possible to make urxvt start automatically with the calendar printed in the first tab and mutt in a second tab? There doesn't seem to be any option in the urxvt manual for this. If urxvt can't do this, are there lightweight alternatives that can?

I came here to say exactly this.

I don't think there is a way to do this with urxvt and its tab functionality alone.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm going to try mrxvt now. One can create different profiles and link them to different tabs.
