RE: raw codes / pace 2500s digibox

[John R. <jo...@en...>]

sorry to respond to myself but...

first of all, i made (at least) one mistake in my confusion. i'd compiled
lircd to work with the silitek so i could test recording and forgot to
recompile for home brew serial transmitter to send. i did that (after
installing kernel source) and was left with a new version of the binaries
and modules.

i setup modules.conf and ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig, changed permissions
for /dev/lirc (although i am testing this as root anyway), and checked i was
using the right port and irq.

as i want to control the pace digibox, i've copied the file DIGIBOX from the
pace directory of the remotes to /usr/local/etc/lircd.conf

i run lircd and the daemon starts.

now, to send a code, i type (in the format: DIRECTIVE, REMOTE, CODE)

rc SEND_ONCE SkyDigital power

and nothing seems to happen.

if i repeat the command, i get:

rc: could not connect to socket
rc: Connection refused

and when i ps -A i see that lircd has gone.

Any advice will be gratefully accepted.

Many thanks
John
