Heck, I would love to have an curses-based alternative to manage, monitor, and provide an interface to restart all ZEO clients and ZSS boxes in a terminal; this would make for easier remote admin via SSH from potentially different client platforms.
I've said it before, but http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
... which, FYI is kind of a pain to use with zope prior to CVS / 2.7, because zope insists on forking to the background unless you run in debug (-D) mode, and daemontools (or rather, svc) is designed to work with daemons that can be run in the foreground. So we can either run with -D even though it turns on all kinds of crap that you may not want on a production server, or write a wrapper zope script that runs in the foreground and signals Zope when you signal it. The latter solution "works" but seems rather fragile. Have I mentioned lately that I'm very thankful to the people that are working on decomposing the various behaviours toggled by -D? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!
