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

I don't know the directory structure in /etc for RHEL but a you can
also use the init script from the debian package as a reference. 

As in your solution there are two files, firs the init script and
second the defaults file containing also the user and group to run
icecast with a different user than root.

the two files are visible for example in the debian package diff file
(against the original source):
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/icecast2/icecast2_2.3.2-6.diff.gz

in my opinion it is a good idea to write to a redhat package maintainer
too, so your script gets included in the rpm.
