Hi folks,
Is there a means to hook into logging, or client connect/disconnect, and execute a program based on these events?

Thanks

via a web link yes, use auth url listener_add, listener_remove, mount_add or mount_remove, depending on which client you are referring to. The on-connect link is only invoked for sources [dis]connecting

So this would require polling web, which is what I was trying to avoid to begin with, ok thanks karl, appreciate the info.

re-edit: ok, I misread the documentation...can auth be setup so no actual authentication is required, but the listener_add and _remove hooks are still used?

[karlH]

of course, authentication via url does not require a username password to be accepted. as long and the php or whatever sends back the correct header then auth is passed.

Ah ok, I'll try and set this up then, thanks karl.

Ok, I have a working perl cgi that inserts/updates an sqlite db based on the listener_add and listener_remove auth events.

If anyone's interested in the cgi, feel free to email me at kritekatgmaildotcom with subject: ICECAST AUTH PERL
