I have installed lirc, and I want to use irexec to control my music player daemon (mpd) using mpc commands from my mce remote control. Works fine, except for one thing:
If I want to edit the /etc/lirc/lircrc file to map the remote control buttons to commands, I need to reboot in order to read in and use the edited lircrc button/command definition file. To test things out is then a rather painful and time consuming experience.
/etc/init.d/lirc restart
does NOT do the trick, it just makes the remote stop working. Function returns after reboot.
What elese needs to be restarted? Or should I use some other method?

Sending a HUP signal to the daemon makes it reread the config file.
Find daemon pid:
$ ps -elf | grep lircd
$ 1 S root 3198 1 0 80 0 - 4545 - 09:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
Send the HUP signal:
$ sudo kill-HUP 3198

it is not problem with
/etc/init.d/lirc restart
or
service lirc restart
that works fine.
Problem is when lirc is going down during the restart - irexec going down to.
So the simply solition is start irexec again
nohup irexec &
