Use irexec. Example: 1) create /etc/irexec.conf 2) put there something like this (just the stuff between the ===): === begin prog = irexec button = RS_15-2116_SLEEP config = /sbin/reboot end === the config = [command] line specifies what [program] to execute when you press the button. The button, of course, must have been defined in lircd.conf 3) put in one of your boot scripts this line: /usr/bin/irexec -d /etc/irexec.conf That should work. But make sure you're not using the same button for something else (assigned to a Mythtv button, etc). > > 2) How do I assign one button of the remote to take me straight to the > program guide instead of having to navigate to it through the OSD while > I am watching TV? > Those are configured through mythweb. Don't remember the exact name, but something like global shortcuts.
