[Solved] Openbox menu and urxvt commands

I have this command as a menu entry which works fine:

urxvt -e alsamixer

but when I select this menu entry:

urxvt -e cal

urxvt opens but immediately closes. Is there anyway to get urxvt to stay open?

Try -hold.

urxvt -hold -e cal

Edit: Don't know how the menu thing works, but if you want to detach from the terminal, use nohup command or urxvtcd package.

I had read about -hold before but could not remember it nor find anything on Google.

Thank you for both replies.
