[arch-general] urxvtd frequently crashes

The urxvtc script on the wiki is also not incredibly specific about
which "urxvtc" one should be pointing to in the script.

One should absolutely link /usr/bin/urxvtc and NOT the script itself,
which will lead to infinite recursion, and as you state, "memory
skyrocketing" and "many processes waiting".

I, for one, say that the wiki should be ammended to point users to
this, and specifically tell them exactly what urxvtc they should be
pointing at.  If installed through the repos, the file will always be
in the same place, and the expectation of that script should not be
that it may be installed in some different location.

$ cat /usr/local/bin/urxvtc

/usr/bin/urxvtc "$@"
if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
   /usr/bin/urxvtd -q -o -f
   /usr/bin/urxvtc "$@"
fi
