That will run liveice as root. If that's what you want, then this ought to
work:
/usr/local/icecast/bin/liveice >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
As a rule, it's probably better to run it as a non-root user (though I'm
not
aware of any specific security concerns with liveice). If you've been
running it as root, you'll need to chown -R the hidden temp files directory
(in the same dir as liveice).
Hope that helps
