Thanks Alan, I was able to map a key by doing the following:
1. Find a good place to launch irexec:
init.d was good. In /etc/init.d/freevo_xserver
startx_freevo() {
# Dan was here - thanks Rob for idea
if [ "`ps -ef | grep irexec | grep -v grep`" = '' ]
then
/usr/bin/irexec /etc/freevo/lircrc &
fi
# End Dan
openvt -c 9 -- su --shell /bin/sh freevo -c "startx $DAEMONLOG --
:1 vt9 -quiet"
}
2. Remap key:
Never did find the red button (LANG) to be useful anywhere, so 'vim
/etc/freevo/lircrc':
#NO OBVIOUS KEY AVAILABLE
#begin
# remote = Hauppauge_350
# button = Red
# prog = freevo
# repeat = 0
# config = LANG
#end
begin
remote = Hauppauge_350
button = Red
prog = irexec
repeat = 3
config = pkill -9 xine
end
3. Hit Red button to kill ivtv xine when it crashes:
A bit lame, but it seems to work.

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
