Comment 2 for bug 505705

I added the following lines to the end of my ~/.lirc/mythtv file (in my
~/.lircrc file I have "include ~/.lirc/mythtv")

begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = irexec
    button = Power
    config = /usr/bin/myth-restart.sh
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

It's my understanding that after adding this that irexec should be
automatically started on the next reboot. This is how it is working on my
Mythbuntu machine, but on my Ubuntu machine it does not automatically start.
I have the same remote hardware on both systems (MCEUSB2)

Reproducing should be just

1) Add those lines to a file that will be parsed by lirc (.lircrc)
2) Reboot machine
3) Watch script not be run when you hit the power button.
