Just kill it.  You can either run killall icecast, or you can find the 
pid of icecast and kill it specifically.  ps can help you find it, but a 
better way would be to use a pid file which you can enable in the 
icecast configuration, and use it to kill icecast with something like this:

kill `cat /usr/local/share/icecast/icecast.pid`

I use the attached script to start, stop, and restart icecast.  It might 
take some modifications to work with SuSE though.  I've used it with 
Slackware and Debian.

Hi:

In addition to what's already been written about killing icecast.

What you may be wanting is to be able to exit it without stopping it.  I 
don't immediately recall a "run in background" option for icecast.
What I
usually do is something like:

icecast -c icecast.xml &

which will background the process, leaving you free to do other things, or 
logout (particularly important if you're logged in remotely).

Geoff.

The -b option will also background.  It's included in my script.  That's
important if you run the script on startup.
