<font face="Arial">Thanks for the explanation, I think I have a false
alarm, mostly. Each of the directories does have an start "S..."
symlink. I have both of these in each of the directories (2 through 5):<br>

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 Dec 11 18:37 K71lirc -> ../init.d/lirc<br>

Maybe that explains why it fails to stop the service during a reboot?
Anyhow, to answer your first question:<br>

# /sbin/service lircd status<br>
lircd dead but subsys locked<br>
<br>
And, yup, the resource lock file is there. The creation date matches
my last reboot:<br>
<br>
ls -color /var/lock/subsys/lircd<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Dec 17 23:07 /var/lock/subsys/lircd<br>
<br>
This looks bad. Is it? Thanks,<br>
