no just edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the line like this

/usr/local/shoutcast

ok i just did that and it wont continue booting
it will just stay there on the shoutcast screen

ok,

this means that you need to background the command

/usr/local/shoutcast &

some scripts just run and terminate, some stay active. If it stays active run it in the background
