## SC_SERV Server 1

if ( ! ps auxwww | grep "/home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv.conf" | grep -v grep )
        then echo "Shoutcast not running..."
        /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv.conf &
fi

sc_mon.txt

the following will start up services on boot, and will restart if it fails or crashes. ive tested this on freebsd 6 and 7, centos, macosx

a script that checks to see if the sc_serv is running, if it isnt, start it.

Create a file. name it whatever.. i call mine sc_mon.sh

put the following in it:

    #!/bin/sh
    #!/usr/bin/perl

            /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv.conf &
    fi


save and close the file

    chmod 777 sc_mon.sh

setup a cron job to run this script every 60 secs... mine looks like this:

    */1 * * * * /home/user/sc_serv/sc_mon.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1

this will execute the script every 60 secs to check if shoutcast is running and will start it if its not.

shoutcast.txt

Step 1:
Create a file named "shoutcast" with the following content in "/etc/init.d/" or
download the attached file, rename, modify and copy it to "/etc/init.d/" (Full path "/etc/init.d/shoutcast"):

Note: You have to edit the path to your SHOUTcast binary and your configuration file


Step 2:
Now you have to make the file executable:

    code: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/shoutcast


Step 3:
Create the startup scripts with (Debian!):

    code: update-rc.d shoutcast defaults


Step 4:
Now your SHOUTcast server starts up everytime your server pass through its startup sequence.
If your server is running, you can use

    code: /etc/init.d/shoutcast start

or

    code: /etc/init.d/shoutcast stop

or

    code: /etc/init.d/shoutcast restart

to control your SHOUTcast server.

Removing the SHOUTcast server from the startup sequence:
Type this on your command line:

    code: update-rc.d -f shoutcast remove
