I don't see anything usefull. Except it raises a question I don't
immediately have the answer to. Does lirc create a socketfile for
every instance or do they all share /var/run/lirc/lircd (where
/dev/lircd points to). What files do you have in /var/run/lirc/ ?
it should contain lircd.pid and lircd.

Tot mails,
