I have posted a few days ago that I have problems with my zope dying suddenly.

Someone suggested to use D. Bernsteins daemon-tools, not as a solution to my problem, but helpful anyway. I made this tool working on my production system, but there's one problem with it: as long as I start it by hand with the command svscan /service & everything works fine.

But when I start it automatically at boot time (through an entry in rc.local) then Zope starts up as I wanted it to do, it gets monitored and restarted again in case of a sudden death, but my DCOracle Database Connection tells me "not connected" and when I try to open it, Zope dies. It seems that your environment is different for interactive start and start during boot.

Remember, that Oracle requires a set of environment variables set, especially ORACLE_HOME.

I have trouble connecting to Oracle since month now, it never works as I expect. Is there anybody out there having no problems with Zope and Oracle databases? I'd really like to know that. We have little problems....

Beside something corrupting the heap. I do not yet know, what is to blame -- but maybe in a few days. Dieter
