got a session defined to start <span class=SpellE>mythfrontend</span>. Sadly,
it turns out it takes 3-4 minutes for some <span class=SpellE>lirc</span>
related processes to fight it out before <span class=SpellE>lirc</span> starts
running. This means a) no remote in <span class=SpellE>mythfrontend</span> at
that time and b) just to make it more complicated even after <span
class=SpellE>lirc</span> starts running (as confirmed with <span class=SpellE>irw</span>
in another window) I have to restart <span class=SpellE>mythfrontend</span> to
get it to recognize that <span class=SpellE>lirc</span> is running.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
