Hello. Do you like my script to restart Zope? I don't. I followed instructions in the Zope archive to write a restart script for Zope. It works if I run it from the command line but if I put it in a cron job, it hangs and does not start properly. Can you help me? THANK YOU. Heather #!/usr/bin/python import os, string # My Zope is installed in /usr/zope # So the commands to stop and start it are, stopcmd = "/usr/zope/stop" startcmd = "/usr/zope/start &" # Command to check Zope processes running, cmd = "ps aux | grep zope" # Find the Zope PIDs that are actually running, readstdin = os.popen(cmd).readlines() pids = [] for eachline in readstdin : words = string.split(eachline) if len(words) > 2 : pids.append(words[1]) pids.append(string.split(eachline)[1]) # Find the PIDs that should be running, pidsfile = "/usr/zope/var/Z2.pid" f = open(pidsfile, 'r') data = f.read() f.close() runningpids = 0 zopepids = string.split(data) for eachpid in zopepids : if eachpid in pids : runningpids = runningpids + 1 if runningpids != 2 : os.popen(stopcmd) os.popen(startcmd) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
