[icecast] ices2 + pid-file (was: ices2 + stdin + metadata)

[Thomas Weber]

Ok, so i have to know the PID of ices to send the update-signal. I've added
this to my ices.xml:
<pidfile>/home/www/bin/ices.pid</pidfile> (directly under the node <ices>)
I thought i've seen this somewhere in the manual.
However, when i start ices, no pid-file is created :-/ Is this the right
way?
