I use irexec to do this. Here's the relevant section from my .lircrc

# Power Off/Exit
begin
prog = irexec
button = POWER
repeat = 4
config = /home/pete/.fluxbox/startmyth.pl
end

and here is my script to start myth...

#!/usr/bin/perl

$pid=`pgrep mythfrontend`;

if ($pid) {
print mythfrontend running, $pid\n;
}
else {
print starting mythfrontend\n;
system(mythfrontend );
}

The script just keeps you from accidentally firing off a 2nd
mythfrontend when one is already running. All you need after that is
to make sure irexec is running. I have a script that runs on login to
fluxbox to fire off irexec, once again just making sure I don't end up
with two copies running:

#!/bin/bash
killall irexec
irexec 

Hope this helps...

Well - I did mine a bit different since I feel that a power button
should both quit and start things:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat .checkmythrunning.sh
#!/bin/sh

pkill irexec;
mythfrontend  irexec -d;



In my .lircrc:
.
.
.
begin
prog = irexec
button = power
config = /home/supermario/.checkmythrunning.sh
end

begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = power
   config = Escape
end

.
.
.
