Icecast Streaming Media Server

Hey,

i have the following problem:
I run a Debian Server with Icecast2 on it. The thing is everytime I change the passwords, users or mount points I have to restart the Icecast2 server. Is there a way to simply reload the config file via the shell?

I already tried to connect to the admin console via telnet and port 8000, but putty waits a few seconds, and then closes itself.

I compiled it by myself and don't have a init-script Sad

And I would be happy to know how this works without anyway.

You couls have it installes by simply use:

apt-get install icecast2

This would haved saved you much trouble, specially if you don't master Debian end don't know how to make your own carfted init scripts.

Well I know how to make my own init scripts, but is there no other way than using an init script?

You might pilot by yourself running PID and send HUP messages, but it's easier and more convenient using init scripts.

Why would you like reinvent the wheel ?
