Liquidsoap already has an init.d, so no need there for a new one? Monit will 
happily start and stop it, but not without a pidfile?

What I'm looking for is the code to put in my monitrc - and how to solve the 
pidfile problem - which looking at the Airtime source code it does 
programmatically so I can't just 'use' that? It's written in Python I think, 
and it's custom scripts. I'm looking for something like:

check process X with pidfile var/run/X.pid
    start program = "/etc/init.d/X start" with timeout 60 seconds
    stop program  = "/etc/init.d/X stop"

Also - kind of getting annoyed that every time I ask a Liquidsoap question, the 
response is 'Here's an Airtime solution' - I thought this was a Savonet  
*Liquidsoap* list, not an *Airtime* list? There is a perfectly good Airtime 
support forum,  and when I Google I have to wade through all the 
Airtime-related queries for a solution - can we have ONE which is for those for 
aren't, please?

Yes I'm sure a few answers are common, but mostly not if you are going for a 
pure Liquidsoap solution as I am and others do, I'm not going to install 
Airtime or hack it's (IMO buggy) Python code to solve problems with Liquidsoap, 
thus taking away the many weeks of uptime, my auto DJ and auto-playlist 
scripting and stability advantages I already have? I migrated away from Airtime 
for several very good reasons - many of which you can see in the bug tracker & 
support forums!
