Yes, systemd runs /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-<wbr>install, but it may well<br>
also do other things when you do "systemctl enable lirc", before and<br>
after it runs /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-<wbr>install. Anything under /lib<br>
is not normally something that you run directly.<br>
<br>
Since I do not know exactly what you did when you ran "systemctl<br>
disable lirc", it is difficult to know what went wrong. Running that<br>
command should stop lircd if it is running (although systemd's<br>
problems with sysv init.d may make that problematical), then it should<br>
remove the link that systemd uses to make it automatically start lirc<br>
at boot time. It should not prevent lircd from running when a<br>
"systemctl start lirc" command is run, or when lircd is run manually.<br>
On my 16.04 system, running "systemctl start lirc" works fine when<br>
lirc is disabled. So after running "systemctl disable lirc", you<br>
should have been able to comment out or delete the "killall lircd"<br>
line in your rc.local and it should have worked with no other changes.<br>
<br>
BTW The right way to do this in systemd is to create a<br>
/etc/systemd/system/lirc.<wbr>service file and use that to contain your<br>
"lircd -H udp -d 5000" command, with the hdhomerun_config command as<br>
an "ExecStartPre=" line. But getting that to work would take some<br>
significant effort, and is probably not worth it until 18.04.<br>
