Launching urxvt with calendar (cal) using sxhkd

Question

Hi I'm trying to launch cal with sxhkd. And it doesn't work, the terminal window is closed right after the command is executed.

I tried to do it using the following:

# launch urxvt 20x8 with cal
super + c
    urxvt -geometry 20x8 -e cal -m

I also tried to set bspwm to open the window as floating with this: bspc rule -a urxvt:cal state:floating but it doesn't have any efect

You need to add -hold on urxvt, in order to not destroy its window when the program executed within it exits.

urxvt -hold -geometry 20x8 -e cal -m
