I want to run irexec to execute commands via a remote control. Irexec 
starts fine if I simply run sudo /usr/sbin/lircd, but this way it does 
not read /etc/lirc/hardware.conf . If I launch lircd from /etc/init.d,  
I get a connection refused error when I attempt to launch irexec.

Anyone familiar with this issue?


Ultimately, I am working on getting VLC to work with lirc with devinput, 
so if there is someone doing this, I would love to visit.


I can post info on pastbin if that would help.
