That will do the job, but what if my provider reboots his server Is it possible to run a cronjob to start the zserver after a reboot?
Sure there is! You can do something like this:
#~/bin/perl $z2_pid = "/proc/".`cat ~/var/Z2.pid`; #as the user that zope runs as
if !(-d $z2_pid) { #start zope `~/start &` }
Not every OS uses /proc, while thats just a portability issue, this technique is a horrible hack at best. I mean while you're at it why don't you abuse a vi.recover session and procmail rule, sheesh. If you need reliable long running processes ask your administrator, they'll either be willing to help you do it correctly, or they won't; either way, its better to do it right than suffer the wrath of the admin who finds this crap in the crontabs. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "It's almost impossible to overestimate the unimportance of most things." -John Logue
