[Icecast] Proper way to start multiple icecast services through bash script?

[Yahav Shasha]

try this:
/usr/bin/icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml -b > /dev/null 2>&1 &
as for killing them, don't overcomplicate things, killall icecast -KILL
also, perhaps you don't even need to kill and start them again, try to HUP
them and see if the certificate updates.
