[icecast] Run liveice as a background process...

[Matthew Mencel]

Tried running it as non root user but something about the user not having access to the /dev/dsp audio device.  I've got to give the user the ability to use that device?

Thanks for the help.

That will run liveice as root. If that's what you want, then this ought to
work:

/usr/local/icecast/bin/liveice >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &

As a rule, it's probably better to run it as a non-root user (though I'm not
aware of any specific security concerns with liveice).  If you've been
running it as root, you'll need to chown -R the hidden temp files directory
(in the same dir as liveice).

Hope that helps
