[icecast] Re: keeping Liveice running...

[Robin P. Blanchard]

ok...based on William's shoutcast-based suggestion, i've come up with
the following. i haven't had time to really test the thing
yet...suggestions are greatly appreciated.

i based this on the fact that icecast's stats.log tells what sources are
connected (in my case 0 and 1) and that log is updated frequently (per
icecast.conf)

#!/bin/sh

DIR=/usr/local
LOG=$DIR/var/icecast/log/stats.log
SOURCE=`cat $LOG |grep Source\ [0-1] |awk '{print $1" "$2}'|sort |uniq`
PIDS=`ps ax |grep $DIR/bin/liveice |awk '{print $1}' ; ps ax |grep
$DIR/bin/lame |awk '{print $1}'`

if [ "$SOURCE" ] ; then
        echo "LiveIce still connected to icecast server."
else    
        if [ "$PIDS" ] ; then 
                echo "Killing rogue processes..."
                echo "pid(s): $PIDS"
                kill -9 $PIDS
                $DIR/bin/liveice -F $DIR/etc/liveice/liveice.cfg
>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
                echo "LiveIce restarted at `date`."
        else
        $DIR/bin/liveice -F $DIR/etc/liveice/liveice.cfg >/dev/null
2>/dev/null &
        echo "LiveIce restarted at `date`."
        fi
fi
