My box is FC3 and I run this with :
/sbin/service lircd start
The /etc/sysconfig/lircd file had little in it apart from :
# Options to lircd
LIRCD_OPTIONS=
Since your email I have tried various combinations of the logging argument
in /etc/sysconfig/lircd but have not had any success. It always gives :
unrecognized option '--logfile=/var/log/lircd'

Sounds logical. Thanks for the tip.

I have also tried stopping lircd with :
/sbin/service lircd stop
And then starting it from the command line with :
/usr/sbin/lircd --logfile=/var/log/lircd
This gives me an error :
/usr/sbin/lircd: unrecognized option '--logfile=/var/log/lircd'
Any idea why this would happen?

Marty
