[ATrpms-devel] lirc-0.8.1-62_cvs20060930: where does /etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd come from?

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd doesn't work for me.  The problem is to do with
module loading.  Probably not its fault.  But when I looked at it, I
came up with another question.

Both lircd and irexec are invoked through the "daemon" command.  This 
seems redundant since lircd daemonizes itself (by default) and irexec does 
so optionally.  Is there any reason for this redundancy?  Does it not just 
add a slight bit of overhead and confusion?

I think that either the "daemon" commands should be eliminated (--deamon 
should be added to the irexec command).  Or perhaps --no-daemon should be 
added to the lircd commands.  (The daemon command may have an advantage 
because it does a chroot.)

I don't think that init.d/lircd is part of the lirc project code because I 
don't see it in http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/lirc/
