[mythtv-users] need help with my irblaster.info irblaster w. lirc/MythTV

[Joe Auty]

Nick,

I guess I forgot to address the init script part of this... While I
haven't spent a tremendous amount of time playing around with this, I've
attached the original and my edited version of the init.d script as well
as my hardware.conf in case you'd like to help me tweak it. Like I said,
it is not starting up the second process despite the arguments being
listed in my LIRC hardware.conf file.

If there is a way to improve these scripts in a way that would benefit
other users, perhaps this is something that could be committed to the
various distros LIRC package?

If you don't have the time or interest, that is cool... Like I said, I
haven't put a whole lot of time into it yet.
