Maybe normal shutdown should manually call the shutdown signal handler function and normal restart should manually call the restart signal handler function?

We are pretty close to that now, which I agree is a good thing. The shutdown signal handler is now a one-liner that calls Lifetime.shutdown. The ZMI handler is a two-liner that calls the same function, then returns some html. Lifetime.shutdown causes the asyncore select loop to return (possibly after a brief pause to allow clients to disconnect cleanly), and z2.py closes the databases (and hence storages) as its very last action.
