Starting Shoutcast on Boot up

[dopelabs]

the following will start up services on boot, and will restart if it fails or crashes. ive tested this on freebsd 6 and 7, centos, macosx

a script that checks to see if the sc_serv is running, if it isnt, start it.

Create a file. name it whatever.. i call mine sc_mon.sh

put the following in it:

code:


#!/bin/sh

#!/usr/bin/perl







### Shoutcast (SC_SERV)





## SC_SERV Server 1

if

( ! ps auxwww | grep "/home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv.conf" | grep -v grep )

        then echo "Shoutcast not running..."

        /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv /home/user/sc_serv/sc_serv.conf &

fi

save and close the file

chmod 777 sc_mon.sh

setup a cron job to run this script every 60 secs... mine looks like this:

*/1 * * * * /home/user/sc_serv/sc_mon.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1

this will execute the script every 60 secs to check if shoutcast is running and will start it if its not.

cheers
