Under any Windows version all the way down to win95 first ed, you can enter a registry key to start a program: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run Add a string called Zope or whatever you want it to be called Modify the value to contain the path and filename of the script or in windoze case the .bat file that will start the Zserver. Keep in mind that this will give you the gratuitous DOS window that will basically stay there until you dont mind Zope dying with it. Removing the -D option, you will probably get a window that you can close without killing zope, but cant say I've ever tried it. If you have a problem with this, then my only suggestion is get a real operating system, and I dont mean windows 2000...

hi, I am using zope for my project. I know how to run the zope server in the background in linux server. ( it is : ./start &) I would like to know how to run the zope server in the background in windows platform.

Under Windows 2000 and NT4, you can run it as a win32 service.

If you were to put something like : <pythondir>/pythonw.exe <zopedir>/z2.py -other params Then it shouldn't give you a dos window. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Zwarts" <paz@oratrix.com> To: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 2:50 PM Subject: RE: [Zope] how to run the server in backgnd in win95/98
