[Icecast] Edited: <on-connect> / <on-disconnect> not working

[Jack Elliott]

Very cool, I haven't encountered the "set -x" debug flag before. 
However, the output isn't as interesting as I hoped:

icecast2 at Icecast-Pi:/home/kpovdjs/bin$ ./email_onconnect.sh
+ printf 'To:thatjackelliott at kpov.org\nFrom:kpovcomputer at gmail.com\nSubject: Remote host has connected to mountpoint on the Backstream\n\n KPOV Icecast server on IcecastPi has detected a connection on the backstream.'
+ /usr/bin/msmtpthatjackelliott at kpov.org
icecast2 at Icecast-Pi:/home/kpovdjs/bin$

Thank you!
