Description
On one of my FE's, I am unable to launch my restartmyth.sh script with the remote via a serial IR receiver from [[http://irblaster.info|irblaster.info]]. Seems to be an irexec issue, but a ps ax | grep irexec shows that it is running. The script is simple:
#!/bin/sh
pkill X
and it works from the commandline. I use the full path to the script (/usr/local/bin/restartmyth.sh) and the full path to irexec (/usr/bin/irexec) in my lircrc. Both script and irexec are executable by user mythtv.
This same script works perfectly on another FE that uses a usb streamzap receiver.

Irexec did not work on my system either. I had to change /usr/LH/bin/LinHES-run at the bottom from: /usr/bin/irexec to /usr/bin/irexec -d & to run irexec as a daemon. I would be interested if that works for you.

Nope. Still no go here.

Works here with both my serial recievers and several other usb/hauppauge.
