[Icecast-dev] [PATCH] Init Startup Scripts for Icecast

[Claudius Zingerli]

Hi,

In order to automatically start icecast at system boot, I created a 
startup script for icecast (adapted from /etc/init.d/openssh).
In order to make this work, you need to create:

cat /etc/sysconfig/icecast

#Icecast service startup parameters
OPTIONS='-c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml'

Adapt you icecast.xml to create a pid file in the standard location:
Instead of <pidfile>/usr/local/share/icecast/icecast.pid</pidfile> use: 
<pidfile>/var/run/icecast.pid</pidfile>

(or adapt the init script to look in /usr/local)

Then put the following code in /etc/init.d/icecast and mark it 
executable and do "chkconfig --add icecast" to register the service.

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 2345 88 55
# Description: Icecast init.d script
# Adapted by zeuz from: openssh initd script


# Get function from functions library
. /etc/init.d/functions

# pull in sysconfig settings
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/icecast ] && . /etc/sysconfig/icecast

prog="icecast"
PID_FILE=/var/run/${prog}.pid
PROG_FILE=/usr/local/bin/${prog}
OPTIONS+=' -b'
RETVAL=0

# Start Icecast
start() {
         echo -n $"Starting ${prog}: "
#       echo -n $"${PROG_FILE} ${OPTIONS} >/dev/null 2>&1 && success || 
failure"
         ${PROG_FILE} ${OPTIONS} >/dev/null 2>&1 && success || failure
         RETVAL=$?
         [ "${RETVAL}" = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/${prog}
         echo
}

# Stop Icecast
stop() {
         echo -n $"Stopping ${prog}: "
         if [ -n "`pidfileofproc ${prog}`" ] ; then
                 echo "killproc ${prog}"
         else
                 failure $"Stopping ${prog}"
         fi
         RETVAL=$?
         # if we are in halt or reboot runlevel kill all running sessions
         # so the TCP connections are closed cleanly
         if [ "x${runlevel}" = x0 -o "x${runlevel}" = x6 ] ; then
                 killall ${prog} 2>/dev/null
         fi
         [ "$RETVAL" = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/${prog}
         echo
}

### main logic ###
case "${1}" in
   start)
         start
         ;;
   stop)
         stop
         ;;
   status)
         status -p $PID_FILE ${prog}
         RETVAL=$?
         ;;

   condrestart)
         if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/${prog} ] ; then
                 stop
                 sleep 3
                 start
         fi
         ;;
   restart|reload)
         stop
         start
         ;;
   *)
         echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|condrestart|status}"
         RETVAL=1
esac

exit 0


I hope that helps. I think it might be useful. The code has been tested 
on RHEL 5. Maybe someone could put that file in a contrib directory. (or 
adapt the Makefile to automatically place the init script)
I'll open a ticket as soon as I get access to the trac repo.

Cheers
