Re: Calling shutdown from lirc

[not J. K. <jam...@ho...>]

Ok, in the last line of /etc/init.d/boot.local (I'm running Suse, btw) I 
put:
irexec --daemon /etc/lircshutdown.conf
and in /ete/lircshutdown.conf I have:
begin
        prog = irexec
        button = power
        config = shutdown -h now
end

When I restarted and ran ps aux | grep irexec I found no instance of irexec 
running. I also ran grep -e irexec /var/log/messages and got no hits. And, 
to no one's surprise, when I clicked the power button on my remote, nothing 
happened. What did I do wrong?
