Hi there, My two Zope installations die rather often (about once a day). I have them running on a Suse Linux 7.2 I did do a binary install, and I am using Python 2.1.1 This is the startup I am using: export ZYSLOG_SERVER="localhost:514" /usr/bin/env python z2.py \ -D \ -u zope \ -z /var/lib/zope \ -Z /var/run/zwatchdog.pid \ -w 8080 \ -f 8021 \ -m '' \ -l /var/log/zope \ -M /var/lib/zope/zopelog \ 2>&1 >> /var/log/zope \ I was thinking that running a watchdog using the option -Z would restart Zope silently? Might there be a conjunction with the line export ZYSLOG_SERVER="localhost:514" I am using? using export ZYSLOG="/dev/log" Zope does not come up at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Robert
