Start new urxvt shell instance and load zsh with .zshrc
I am trying to open a new instance of urxvt, execute a command (ls) and load my .zshrc file. The shell should then remain open, displaying the output of the command and waiting for the user to enter another command.
So far I have urxvt -e zsh -ic "ls; zsh". However, this does not load the user's .zshrc. How can I do this without waiting for the final zsh command to exit?
linux bash zsh urxvt

Would it be an option for you if you putlsas the last line of your.zshrc? Or why must thelsbe executed before sourcing.zshrc(I understand your question that way)?

When trying to runurxvt -e zsh -ic "ls; zsh"on my machine it seems to work just fine. I also tried replacing the secondzshwithbashandzsh -fin order to make sure thaturxvtdoes not just load my default shell anyway. This also worked as expected. How do you run this command (i.e. do you start it from some terminal, a desktop shortcut or some other way)? I would also would suggest tryingurxvt -e sh -c "ls; zsh -i": The shell passed to the-eoption does not really need to bezshor interactive, while the shell inside the quotes should start an interactivezshsession.

When trying to run
urxvt -e zsh -ic "ls; zsh" on my machine it seems to work just fine. I also tried replacing the second zsh with bash and zsh -f in order to make sure that urxvt does not just load my default shell anyway. This also worked as expected. How do you run this command (i.e. do you start it from some terminal, a desktop shortcut or some other way)? I would also would suggest trying urxvt -e sh -c "ls; zsh -i": The shell passed to the -e option does not really need to be zsh or interactive, while the shell inside the quotes should start an interactive zsh session.– Adaephon
