I have been having a problem with my icecast server running on CentOs. Occasionally, the service will stop running, but it will fail to restart because the subsys is locked. If the service stops, I need to manually log into my VPS, delete the empty file in /var/lock/subsys and restart the icecast service. What could be causing the icecast service to not drop the locked file? This is the only service I am running on this VPS that has the problem. I can send over my icecast service file if that helps out. user at server [~]# service icecast status icecast dead but subsys locked user at server [~]# cd /var/lock/subsys user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# ls -l | grep icecast -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Nov 23 10:06 icecast user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# rm icecast rm: remove regular empty file `icecast'? y user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# ls -l | grep icecast user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# service icecast status icecast is stopped user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# service icecast start Starting icecast streaming daemon: [ OK ] user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# service icecast status icecast (pid 30820) is running... user at server [/var/lock/subsys]# Thanks for the help, and for those in the US, have a Happy Thanksgiving. -- Phil / w2lie http://www.w2lie.net icecast at xiph.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Icecast] Icecast service remains locked in CentOs
Did you install Icecast from SVN or icecast.org download, or did you install it as a package from CentOS's package repository? The reason I ask is because the problem may also lie in how the service is configured specifically for CentOS/RHEL.

The install was from an Icecast download. Not the SVN or from the repository. I can send a copy of my service script in init.d if that helps.
