[Icecast] Icecast and logrotate

[Joel Ebel]

You need to send a HUP to icecast.  Here's my logrotate entry.  Note 
that the 3 logs are supposed to be on the same line, but my mail client 
will wrap them.

/usr/local/var/log/icecast/access.log 
/usr/local/var/log/icecast/error.log 
/usr/local/var/log/icecast/playlist.log {
     sharedscripts
     postrotate
         kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/share/icecast/icecast.pid`
     endscript
}

In order to use the icecast.pid file, you need to enable that in your 
icecast configuration.
