Title:
  using lirc init script restart function fails sometimes

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  Using lircd 0.8.6 on Mythbuntu 9.10:
  Using "/etc/init.d/lirc restart" successfully shuts down lircd however it fails to start back up even though the output on the console indicates that it started (the [ OK ] on the right)
  If I then immediately run "/etc/init.d/lirc start" it starts up fine.

  I believe it is just a simple timing problem. Maybe it takes lircd
  half a second or so to shut down but the init script is not waiting
  for it. When the new instance tries to start, it can't grab the
  resources it needs because the old one is still holding on to them.

  For me, simply adding a "sleep 1"  in the restart function right after
  the call to "stop" (line 222) fixes this problem.
