Hello there. I run a police scanner station with icecast2 and darkice. In this age of broadband, many users are quite sloppy when it comes to turning off their client when they're done listening. Consequently all available slots are filled up after a few days. I then have to restart the whole service, or manually kill the top-20-or-so users. Would it be possible to have a time limit for every client, or can I solve this in any other way? <p> -- Ståle Lorentzen --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

After that, they have to reconnect.... -- Ståle Lorentzen <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
