Put a tiny shell script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
e.g.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/icecast &
(Assuming that is where it is and how it's called.)
Give it a name that ends in .sh, say ice.sh. Don't forget to set the
file executable ("chmod 700 ice.sh").
This works for all programs. At boot the system checks for files
ending in .sh in the the dir mentioned and runs them.
