I did as you said but it did not bring me along any further. I am relatively new at linux and really helpless with this topic.

Hallo Bryan,

I just put the scripts in here. Just checked all the file locations. They seem to be ok. However I did not find

zProcessManager.pid and zwatchdog.pid

on my running Zope which I started manually. I commented them out on my system.

Thanks a lot!

Can you try adding the -x flag to the #!/bin/bash and see if you can follow the script's output to find the error. -- Bryan C. Andregg Duke University Medical Center Programmer Dept. of Anesthesiology e <bryan.andregg@duke.edu> p +1 919 684 6201
