I'm thinking about the fork+exec with controlling terminal and process group detachment, available under *nix systems.

Why not rely on your existing rc/init.d scripts? Let Zope check daemon status and start/stop particular daemons as needed. The details will vary by system, but shouldn't consist of more than a handful of shell commands in any event.

Is such a thing possible ?

I would certainly think so.

Are there any drawbacks ? (beside not being portable to Win)

That, and the obvious security implications of giving a relatively monolithic piece of software a bigger set of privileges. Dylan
