Not at all!

You can get a list of all Lire services by running

 $ lr_check_service -l 2>/dev/null

.  A command lr_check_superservice is available too (though not
installed in the default $PATH, you'd have to run it like e.g.

 /usr/local/libexec/lire/lr_check_superservice -l

.)  These commands come with manpages.

Is this your complete xml file?  It should end with </job> , as you've
quoted it, it's imcomplete.

I believe all documentation is shipped with the RPM.  Probably installed
in something like /usr/share/doc/lire/ .

Which RPM are you using exactly?  On what platform?

If I have more time, I'll try to reproduce the behaviour here, one of
these days.

Bye,
