So I have a new Icecast setup with two channels, each of which carries a link to MP3 files. Whenever I update the .m3u file to reflect a changed link, I have to restart Icecast and the Icegenerator to make it recognize the change. Is there a way to automate this process? So when I update the file link, that?s reflected in the stream, which auto updates too? How do I go about this? Peace, Gene

...you. This is probably not an optimal way of doing it. However: There is a set of utilities called "inotifytools" that is specifically designed for watching files and directories for changes. If that is installed, supposedly, something like: while inotifywait -e modify /usr/local/etc/paracast.cfg; do killall -HUP icegenerator done run as a shell script in the background would do what you're describing for the "paracast" feed (assuming in this case that "killall -HUP icegenerator" is all you need - if you need to run other commands as well you'll have to ad...
