To send the HUP signal to a process you'll have to know it's
PID
. Basically, it looks like the following:
kill -HUP %PID%
So how do you know Icecast's PID? You'll have to either check the
ps aux
command output (i recommend you filter the output with | grep icecast
):

... or use the Icecast's
.pid
-file. Open up the icecast.xml file to edit Icecast configuration and under the <paths>
section alter the <pidfile>
setting. For example, the FreeBSD path would be:
<pidfile>/usr/local/share/icecast/icecast.pid</pidfile>
Restart Icecast. Now the
.pid
-file should be generated and available by the path specified. So no it's time to say Icecast kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/share/icecast/icecast.pid`
