Type:
1 2 3 |
sudo killall -HUP icecast2 |
or, find the PID for your Icecast process using “ps aux” (example: 1234) and type:
1 2 3 |
sudo kill -HUP 1234 |
While kill and killall do normally terminate tasks, in this instance they’re being used to send a “hangup signal” (-HUP) which forces Icecast to refesh the configuration file (usually /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml) without dropping any of the client connections. Pretty hard to understate the usefulness of this, especially on a production server.
