While being a bit of a nerd and not really midning playing with,
admittedly, clunky LIRC configs, I'd certainly support the ability to
restart lirc or reconnect to the socket etc.

One of the problems I had when my LIRC actually worked (the h/w broke
ages ago and I'm too lazy to fix it), was resuming from suspend. The
Remote would not work unless I quit and reloaded the frontend. Which
isn't too nice all in all.

Could be I missed something or some tweak/hack that would have made it
work... I'm gonna invest in a new frontend machine soon anyway. It wants
to be diskless and 100% silent (pref completely passivly cooled). Any
suggestions people want to throw at me please feel free (tho' I
appreciate this is a -user question, I'm just being lazy - hey it's the
holidays after all!)

Col.
