irexec.  I use it to map a key to restart the frontend in the event of a 
lockup or just to make it easier for me.  This is in my main .lircrc 
file, not the mythtv native ~/.mythtv/lircrc file

Example:

begin
        prog = irexec
        remote = tivo
        button = CLEAR
        repeat = 0
        config = ~/frontend-restart.sh
end
