irxevent refuses to start when double clicked

The file contains the lines below:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/irxevent &

I want it to start when I doubleclick it so I know it will start if I put it in /etc/init.d/boot.local. I've had problems with lines not being executed in that script (/etc/init.d/boot.local). I'm running a Konqueror-window as root. The name of the file is boot2.local. Which shell starts the boot-up scripts?

I've also noticed that /etc/init.d/boot.local does not run at boot. After boot the processes are not running. I noticed that there was an error message on the splash screen:"ERROR loading lirc_dev. No such device". My boot.local looks like this:

Even if I run the script manually it still doesn't work. I have to manually killproc irexec end then start it again. Then it works. My remote control i.e. Is there no way to start it automatically on boot?
