Icecast dev - Dec 2007 - Re: Icecast2 Relays/Mounts - Adding without Restarting Server

Is it at all possible to add Icecast2 Relays or Mounts without having 
to restart the server, and thus drop all the other existing 
connections in the process?

Thanks.

Both mounts and xml specified relays can be reread from the XML over the 
HUP signal. In slave setups, new relays will be created when the master 
updates the streamlist. Listeners will not be dropped unless the relay 
goes down and there is no fallback.

Not in 2.3.1, I have an /admin url in my branch work which will work 
across different platforms (linked off the admin menu bar).  It's one 
thing I have not merged into trunk because I wasn't sure on what scale 
of changes I was going to do for admin access and whether the /admin 
reference would stay.

Of course. Just edit the config file, then send SIGHUP to icecast.

It'll reread the config file and apply all appropriate changes.
