Re: [Zope-dev] Runaway processes

On Unix-like systems, we can use `os.fork()`. The advantage of this approach is that I can use OS system calls to kill the process. However, ZODB database storages cannot be shared between processes. Nikolay Kim has done some preliminary experiments and found that `db.open()` locks the system (for both, `FileStorage` and `ZeoClientStorage`). I have not verified these results or tried to figure out why it is hanging, but I can see the problem for `FileStorage`.

i have to create new zeo storage for each child to make forking server work. i think for forking server we need long running childs
