SHOUTcast-Control-Script

This SHOUTcast-Control-Script offers the possibility to start, stop and restart the services of the SHOUTcast server of the company Nullsoft. Also for the case, if the server wouldn't be able to stop with restricted rights, there is a stop-force function implemented which enables you to try to stop the server with full superuser-rights (Parameter: stop-force). The scripts offers additionally the possiblity to be executed by crontab, whereby a control by time of the SHOUTcast server is possible. Moreover this script is full usable as RC-script for the system. You have the possiblity to run the script under any user to increase the server-security. For this reason the SHOUTcast-Control-Script checks on every start, if the user is sure to start the server with full superuser-rights or better cancel the start-process to proceed later with different rights.
