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?
