Can you tell if lirc is crashing?

lsmod |grep lirc


I had a problem with my remote freezing up on me and found out that for
some reason lirc would crash. It turned out to be a memory issue and
went through my system and cut back on the processes running.

cat /var/log/messages |grep lirc

?

trying to help,
