Are both pythons hung? Were you interfering with a db that the Zope has open or somesuch? Have you tried the monitor_client.py inside ZServer/medusa? I run lots of things beside my win32 Zope and haven't locked up Zope2+CVS as yet. Running other python processes shouldn't do anything nasty. I assume that the binary python is 1.5.2 my RH6.0 came with 1.5.1, but I replaced it.
Thanks for theReply Robin, Here's more of the story; I couldn't figure out how to test whether 'both' pythons were hung. I found that I could log into the medusa FTP server easily, but once I did a 'dir' nothing came back. I killed the processes and restarted Zope (./start) again (top shows two python processes running). It's possible that I was tinkering with a database that Zope was using, and (as I was doing MySQL stuff with my Python scripts) I presume I was using the same python MySQL library. I'll have a look at Andy Dustmans' new patch to ZMySQLDA and see if I can figure around that. I didn't try the monitor_client.py voodoo (I don't understand how to use it correctly). This is the only time that Zope 2 has locked up on my Solaris box, on my LinuxPPC box at home, it's happened a few times (this is with Solaris 2.0.0 binary release, Python 1.5.2 and 2.0.0 source release, Python 1.5.2 respectively). cheers, tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
