Actually, I believe several people have reported that Zope *hangs* on them, for unknown reasons. I didn't see a corroborative report of Zope *crashing* on them. These are likely (at least) two distinct problems.
Ah! Thank you: I see, now.
I'd like to help you. I'd like to help everybody, actually. But I can't without a little help from you. Providing a bug report that says "Zope crashes/hangs on me, I can't establish a pattern, it happens at all times of the day, and I haven't spend any time narrowing the symptoms down any further" is a bug report that I can't do much with. I can ask you for more information (which I've done), but otherwise I'm fairly helpless.
We've solved these sorts of problems in the past with help from folks who were able/willing to narrow down the problem to a replicable test case. If you can spend the time to do the same, we can likely solve it or at least provide a workaround.
The only information I have thus far is that my little shell script complains that it can't find the ./start script, even after it's found it before. Perhaps it starts Zope, checks on Zope, then when Zope crashes suddenly it can no longer find the ./start file. But I can find it! It hasn't gone anywhere. Then, equally inexplicably, my infinite loop script dies. I created a STUPID_LOG_FILE and made the appropriate changes (to ./start, I believe) but nothing's been reported. I just now made a log file for my shell script. We'll see if it catches anything. I *have* noticed this:
2001-05-14T22:02:57 INFO(0) ZServer HTTP server started at Mon May 14 15:02:57 2 001 Hostname: thor.ccom.net Port: 8080

Can you suggest other ways I try and catch this problem? TIA, BenO
