Run inputexec as service

[vrs01]

any idea on this? I tried starting inputexec at system boot with /etc/rc.local but it sometimes crashes. So a systemd service would be better.

This worked for me on Ubuntu:

[Unit]
Description=Process MCE commands
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/inputexec --action-commands=/home/mythtv/Documents/Scripts/inputexec-actions.ini --source-file=/dev/IntelCIR --action-mode=run_async --logging-target=syslog --logging-level=info
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I've never written systemd unit files, so I'm not sure how much I can help you there :(

However, the first one that was posted might have an issue when expanding the $config environment variable into a list of space-separated arguments.

If anyone has a proper and tested service file, I'd love to include it in the documentation :)
