<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry in advance for my linux naivete, but here's
my problem: my startup scripts are running twice. I get two copies of
mythfrontend, and, worse, two instance of irxevent, which doubles the action
performed by each remote control keypress, making menu navigation
impossible. I've tried locating the code to start these processes in
.bash_profile and /etc/profile. I have no idea why it's running twice --
this is a fresh install of FC2, and I haven't messed around with either of the
scripts except to add three little lines (a call to alsactl, irxevent, and
mythfrontend). I'm mystified.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone can explain what's going on, that'd be
great. But I think the quickest fix may be to just put those three lines
inside a logic block that can only be executed once: an if to check that a
variable is not set, execution of the three commands, fi, then the variable
is set and exported. Unfortunately, I know very little about scripting and
my efforts -- which look syntactically correct to me -- are generating
errors. Could anyone write a quick example script of how I would
accomplish this?</FONT></DIV>
