This would start the script every five minutes. Now how do I check if the script is running after it's been started and if it wasn't to restart it again.
Why don't you write a shell script which
1. starts the ./stop script, and 2. starts the ./start script
every 5 minutes? So you don't have to check if Zope runs. It's like a restart.
That would be very intensive on the server. Imagine if your office file server was set to reboot every 5 minutes, "just in case". It's far better to just check if it's dead and only then restart it.
Sounds to me like you need a script to do the following: check if /tmp/zope.pid exists if it does, check if a process of the number stored in there is running if not, start zope if not, start zope. I really suck at shell scripts, but from what I've seen, you will need some way to grab the PID of Zope as it starts.
