Description Karl Newman 2013-01-28 21:14:12 UTC 
The irexec init.d script included with lirc-9.0-r2 uses both the deprecated --chuid argument and its replacement --user. It should be safe to remove the --chuid from the script.

FYI: there are some obsolete files that ago forgot to remove in Nov 2012.

I'm trying to get some buttons on my MythTV MCE remote to work to suspend my PVR, and I cannot figure out how to get irexec to run as a daemon using this init script. Is there a working init script somewhere? FWIW, I am running lirc-0.9.2-r5.

Although this (i assume) does not actually relate to the bug as filed above, if you start irexec via the init script then it should by definition (unless it crashes/fails to run) run as a daemon.

Does irexec crash out? what happens when you try to run /etc/init.d/irexec start ?

Hi. I have this bug for a couple of years now.

Could someone remove

  --chuid ${IREXEC_USER}

from the file

  /etc/init.d/irexec

And put that into the repository/portage? (Which I can’t.)

That fixes it.
