A while back there were many comments on the list about Zope hangs, and how to handle them. If anyone is interested, I wrote a Perl script that checks for a response from Zope on localhost and restarts it if there is no response. It uses the init script from http://www.zope.org/Members/markoer2/resources/howtos/redhat_startup, and a few Perl modules from CPAN. It runs as a daemon so that it can started once and ignored. I haven't done it, but you could probably write an init shell script for it, too. The only thing it lacks right now is writing into syslog for it's messages, but I expect I'll work that out in a day or so. Let me know if you want it, and I'll post it.
