[SOLVED] Jumanji will not download files using urxvt and wget

Hello,

I'm having some problems when I try to download a file in Jumanji.

I copied the example jumanjirc from the wiki and downloading worked fine a couple of times.
the relevant command is:

set download_command urxvt -e sh -c "wget --load-cookies ~/.config/jumanji/cookies '%s' -O %s";

I did some investigating and found that urxvt would not launch from within another terminal if a command is given.
Example:

urxvt -e sh -c "cd /etc/"

instead the screen flickers like it's trying to load a new terminal but fails.

If anyone has any info or any pointers on where I should look for a solution I would be very greatful

Wiki entry:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ju … figuration

P.S I'm new to the forums so go easy if I've made any mistakes or breached the etiquette

Does 'urxvt -e top' work?

Your download command line is wrong. It should be:

set download_command urxvt -e sh -c "wget --load-cookies ~/.config/jumanji/cookies '%s' -O '%s'"

If you're sure about this, can you please fix the wiki?

@lagagnon
Thanks :-)

@chris427
If you still want, you can try

urxvt -hold -e ls /etc

or use urxvtcd from the AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9779

urxvtcd -hold -e ls /etc

- and you get the prompt back :-)

@karol
I only tried the "urxvt -e sh -c cd /etc/" to see if I had the right download command.
Turns out urxvt wont work if you type the command in wrong like I did
I'll try out that urxvtcd, looks like the daemon-client thing could be cool.
Anyway thanks for the help guys
