lirc multi-user configuration

Here are the configuration changes and scripts I have created to enable multi-user LIRC. They could possibly use some improvement.

/etc/lirc/start_ir.sh

#!/bin/bash

date >> ~/irlog.txt
echo "Starting IR" >> ~/irlog.txt
irexec &
lircrcd ~/.lircrc &

/etc/lirc/stop_ir.sh

#!/bin/bash

date >> ~/irlog.txt
echo "Stopping IR" >> ~/irlog.txt
killall irexec
killall lircrcd

/etc/lirc/all_user_lircrc

#! lircrcd

*** stuff that should work for all users ***

Everything below this is for each user that can login. If these are not created for a user, they will not get LIRC to run for them.

~/.lircrc

#! lircrcd

include /etc/lirc/all_user_lircrc

*** lirc stuff specific to this user ***

~/lock_script.sh

#!/bin/bash
~/.kde/shutdown/stop_ir.sh
#other things to do when the users screen gets locked

~/unlock_script.sh

#!/bin/bash
~/.kde/Autostart/start_ir.sh
#other things to do when the users screen gets unlocked

~/.kde/Autostart/start_ir.sh is a soft link to /etc/lirc/start_ir.sh

~/.kde/shutdown/stop_ir.sh is a soft link to /etc/lirc/stop_ir.sh

~/.kde/share/config/kscreenlocker.notifyrc
