I often do: ps ax | grep python to see if zope is really running or not.

I'm going for the "simplest/dumbest" question of the year award:
How do I stop zope?
I just set it up on Red Hat Linux...and after running "./start &" the server is up and running. I've now added CMF and would like to shut it down/restart. Can't do it. I've tried from the ZMI control panel (error message) That's the easiest way to shutdown Zope.
Ignore the error message. It's an artefact because Python raises a "SystemExit" exeption when "sys.exit" (Python's shutdown function) is called. No one gave this exception special treatment. Therefore, you see it reported.
...and from the linux prompt (I'm new to linux, but I tried: "./stop" (and every conceivable variation) and get a "./stop: kill: (24799) no such pid" message). This means either, that Zope is already stopped (e.g. because your ZMI action has been successful) or that the PID found in "var/Z2.pid" no longer describes the correct Zope process (the feature is a bit brittle).
What am I doing wrong? Almost surely, you simply got confused by the (stupid) error message...
