if you are running zope in debug mode (the default) zope uses only one thread.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Urgent business trip. after several days of running zope my linux box says: top: 21800 zope 25 0 2212 4 0 S 1.5 0.0 6:13 0 python ps: 21800 ? S 0:00 /home/zope/bin/python /home/zope/z2.py -Z1 -t5 -X -w8080 -M /home/zope/var/bigm.log -l /home/zope/var/event.log 21801 ?

I have zope running on several servers but never had any problem like that. Ulrich

It may be that you are seeing only 2 processes right after starting Zope. The additional processes that handle requests are not spawned until the first request happens. I am not running ZEO, so I see 1 process until the first request (with ZEO running that may be why you see 2). Right after restart it looks like this:

--------- [root@localhost bin]# top -u zopeuser top - 15:00:00 up 19 days, 44 min, 1 user, load average: 0.16, 0.07, 0.02 Tasks: 48 total, 1 running, 47 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 100.0% idle Mem: 1032372k total, 917820k used, 114552k free, 76236k buffers Swap: 506008k total, 0k used, 506008k free, 584252k cached

After I make a request to the zope server I see this:

--------- [root@localhost bin]# top -u zopeuser top - 15:03:19 up 19 days, 47 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.00 Tasks: 53 total, 1 running, 52 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 100.0% idle Mem: 1032372k total, 923072k used, 109300k free, 76276k buffers Swap: 506008k total, 0k used, 506008k free, 584260k cached

Hi,

I am running Zope on Linux (RH 9). Performance is not that great (to say the least). I can see only two Zope processes and only one seems to use any cpu time.

Is that supposed to be like that? Should I do anything about it? If so, what do I need to do?

I realize that this has been discussed before, I just couldn't find the thread in the archives or through Google.

TIA
