Package: icecast2
Version: 2.3.2-9+deb7u2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
It would be great to provide a way to query the status of the service.
This is useful for systems such as salt [1] to query the status of a
service.
[1] http://www.saltstack.com/community/
Other services (e.g. sshd) provide a status command for this purpose.
I'll provide a patch to add support for this feature. The patch is
tested on my system after these things:
* install libxml2-utils (for xmllint)
* create a folder /var/run/icecast2
* set the owner to icecast2:icecast
* set the pidfile in /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml to
/var/run/icecast2/icecast.pid
* restart the icecast server
* Happiness!
Thank you very much,
Sven Herzberg
