I need to use the title (-title/-T) for a terminal app called cmus in rxvt. But, When I am running 

urxvt -e cmus -T "cmus"

It opens and closes. cmus is a music player and it changes the title dynamically depending on the track so I'm finding it hard to bind some key to bring it forward. Is there any other way to affix it's title?

    Does https://superuser.com/questions/308650/keep-cmus-from-changing-terminal-title help? Basically stop the app from changing the title. – Stephen Harris May 06 '19 at 02:42

    Yes, you should configure cmus to stop changing the title. There's no way to disable the \e]2;title\a escape in rxvt (or to selectively disable terminal escapes, except for those considered "insecure", which the set_title apparently is not). –  May 06 '19 at 02:51
  • The :set set_term_title=false can do this, is there any configrc file for cmus where I can put this in? – Galilean May 06 '19 at 03:00
  • I found the rc file's location in the man pages. It is located here ~/.config/cmus/rc – Galilean May 06 '19 at 03:17

The rc file for cmus is located at ~/.config/cmus/rc. If it is not there create one. In there put 

fset set_term_title=false

This will stop cmus from changing the title dynamically.
