[Icecast] startup script for icecast

[Klaas Jan Wierenga]

Hi Dave,

I've also written my own startup script, but have since switched to 
using daemontools with great success.

http://www.google.com/search?q=daemontools (second match)
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

Daemontools is easy to install (you should be able to find an rpm for it).

It will allow you to bring up/down icecast, send HUP, and also to 
automatically restart it in case it would crash. Check it out.

Regards,

KJ
