based onwhat distro you are running you could make it start up at boot time. My startup script on RH 8.0 ( in /etc/rc.d/init.d & set up using chkconfig ) is like this: ------ code ----- #! /bin/bash # # chkconfig: 2345 98 98 # description: Zope Web Server # # processname: zope # Source function library . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope: " su - zope /var/local/zope/start > /dev/null 2> /var/log/zope/startup.log & echo_success echo ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping Zope: " /var/local/zope/stop echo_success echo ;; restart|reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; status) if [ -f /var/local/zope/var/Z2.pid ]; then echo -n "Zope (pid `head -1 /var/local/zope/var/Z2.pid`) is running..." fi echo ;; *) echo -n "Usage: service zope {start|stop|reload|restart|status}" echo exit 1 esac exit 0 ------ code ------- Then use chkconfig -add <script name> hth AM Jos van der Vleuten wrote:
Hello all,
I have installed zope on my webspace at a hosting provider. With ssh i can start the zserver with the ./start command, but when i close the ssh-session the zserver stops executing. Now i want to make a cronjob to automate this task of running the zserver. I'm not very familiar with linux, so can somebody explain me how to do this.
