Unfortunately, have tried both of these already each with the same 
result (actually I was not able to put an ampersand in the lirc config 
file, doing so seems make the command fail to execute completely, but I 
was able to call a script and put the ampersand in the script).

I've also tried unloading the imon module on shutdown (as I saw an error 
code from imon in the shutdown log) but again this made no difference.
