Icecast - Aug 2004 - changing pwd without restrarting the server

Hi,

We are currently running an educational Webradio (radio.laclasse.com) on
icecast1. We developped a reservation tool so that the teachers of our
school network can reserve one hour of diffusion, they receive an email with
their password that works only during the hour they reserved.

We want to improve this calendar tool, and so we plan to move to icecast 2.
But it seems impossible to change the password without having to restart the
server. Any idea on that ?

You will need to tell icecast to reread the config file when you've changed 
it, you can send it a SIGHUP to do that.
