hi, I am using Linux RedHat 6.2. I want zope server to be run while boot up.

Quick answer: Add a line similar to the following to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /usr/local/zope/start & This will take care of starting it up automatically. Longer answer: If you want to do it "properly", with init.d scipts, etc. (so it also shuts down automatically on system shutdown, for instance), this howto: http://www.zope.org/Members/jec/startstop_howto_html is very useful in this respect. It describes a scheme to allow you to start and stop multiple instances of Zope. Part of this scheme is a good, working, set of scripts to manage startup & shutdown. If you want to have just one instance, just make sure the "instances" file (described in the howto) has a single entry, and that the "instance_name" for that entry is just "." (ie a single dot). This is what I've done, and it seems to work fine.
