If you study the "start" script, you'll see that it calls "z2.py" with the "-D" option. "z2.py" tells you: - - - -D Run in Zope debug mode. This causes the Zope process not to detach from the controlling terminal, and is equivalent to supplying the environment variable setting Z_DEBUG_MODE=1 - - - So just remove this option and "start" will detach. I have a file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/zope" like so: - - - #!/bin/sh # # description: Runs Zope # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope: " touch /var/lock/subsys/zope daemon /usr/local/src/Zope/start echo ;; stop) echo -n "Shutting down Zope: " /usr/local/src/Zope/stop rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zope echo ;; status) status zope ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: zope {start|stop|status|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0 # EOF / Svante Kleist - NEMESIS systemDesign, Stockholm -- Suder Steen SFS <sfs@sciatl.dk> wrote: : Hi, : : I'm looking for a script to start my Zope system on a RH6 : system. : : The "start" script is nice, but it doesn't detach from the : console. : : Does anyone have an example, a working script or : suggestions? : : Best regards, : Steen Suder : Zope newbie : : _______________________________________________ : Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org : http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope : : (To receive general Zope announcements, see: : http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce : : For developer-specific issues, zope-dev@zope.org - : http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
