david,
thanks for that great patch! :)

would it be possible to include that feature into liveice (cvs at
least), since it works really great and doesnt hurt anyone?

also thanks for the other suggestions. where is ices2? is it stable
enough for live streaming?

regards,
br1

To stop liveice's save files, run 'killall -USR1 liveice'. Only the
liveice
processes that are actually archiving will respond to this. To close
and
reopen the save file, 'killall -USR2 liveice'. This will also start
the save
file if it wasn't already archiving.

Using this, you can have a script or cron job that renames the
current
SAVE_FILE mp3 to a customized dated filename, then tells liveice to
reopen the
save file, which will continue archiving to the default filename. If
you want
to make sure that the save file isn't overwritten when you start
liveice, just
rename the liveice binary to something else (liveice-real) and make a
small
shell script or perl wrapper called liveice that checks for the file
then runs
liveice-real.
