Description Francesco Lazzarino 2005-03-03 14:24:57 UTC

when starting the script reports success, and the program does not start.
when trying to stop it says there is no process to stop
and when trying to start again it says that there is already an icecast running.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av icecast
2. /etc/init.d/icecast start
3. ps -e | grep ice
4. /etc/init.d/icecast stop
5. /etc/init.d/icecast start

Actual Results:  
1. icecast emerged properly
2. /etc/init.d/icecast reported success
3. no output
4. returned an error that no process exists
5. returned that the server is already running

Expected Results:  
2. should have launched icecast
3. should have gave a ps entry
4. should have stopped the program
5. should have started icecast

i tried starting icecast by hand:
icecast -c /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

it returned (paraphrased):
FATAL: cannot create log file.
