[mythtvnz] Problem auto starting irexec.

[Miroslav Vujičić]

Hi Phil,

Not sure why your stuff doesn't work - it looks like it should, but anyway you 
can do something like:

http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/08/09/autostart-programs-in-ubuntu/

and add 'irexec -d' for the user that runs mythfrontend, and it will work 
fine.

Cheers
Miroslav
