Didn't you just ask this?

One fellow offered a shell script.  It's true
that another guy thought that wouldn't be
a good idea.  Did they forget to cc: you?
It doesn't appear so......

If you think a shell script is not the thing
for the reasons mentioned, you might use
crontab....depending on what user icecast
needs to be run as, put the following into
their crontab....

@reboot    /path/to/icecast -flag(s) argument(s)

If icecast has an apache-style APACI
program, you might call it at shutdown
to kill the daemon.....

@shutdown       command

Use 'crontab -e' to edit your/the crontab....
