Re: lirc and suspend

[Anthony <ant...@ya...>]

Hello

In case, anyone has a similar problem here is a perl script, socketdup,
that helps. It is a daemon that sits between the real lircd daemon and
/dev/lircd, keeping the latter alive.

To use, configure lircd to use the output socket /dev/lircd0
	lircd -o /dev/lircd0

and then start this script
	socketdup /dev/lircd0 /dev/lircd

Mplayer and freevo all continue to get remote input after the lircd
daemon is restarted.
