In lirc 0.9.4, irexec.service fails to start because the irexec executable is in /usr/bin/, not /usr/sbin/

[Michael Marley]

Either the file needs to be moved to /usr/sbin/ or the /lib/systemd/system/irexec.service needs to be updated to point to /usr/bin/irexec instead.

grep irexec . -R |grep sbin
./systemd/irexec.service:ExecStart=/usr/sbin/irexec /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc
this seems a bug indeed

sbin_PROGRAMS = lirc-lsplugins
bin_PROGRAMS = ircat \
                          irexec \

Indeed, thanks for reporting! A fix will be present in next update, coming Real Soon (tm).
