:-) Just when I wanted to wrote a small how-to on this, somebody releases an .rc script. Anyhow, I also wrote an .rc script and this one should also work (It's tested on Mandrake 7.0 and everything works well, even linuxconf). I've named this .rc script -> zope.rc and placed it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then used SysV Init Editor to make the correct links to the rc?.d Here is the script: (let me know if I did something wrong) Of course I assume that Zope is installed in directory : /usr/local/zope #! /bin/sh # # Startup script for Zope # # chkconfig: 345 87 17 # description: Zope is the leading Open Source web application server. \ # Zope enables teams to collaborate in the creation and \ # management of dynamic web-based business applications \ # such as intranets and portals. # # processname: zope # pidfile: /usr/local/zope/var/Z2.pid # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Get config. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] then exit 0 fi # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Zope2 service: " /usr/local/zope/start '/usr/local/zope/var/zProcess.pid' touch /var/lock/subsys/zope ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping Zope2 service: " /usr/local/zope/stop rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zope rm -f /usr/local/zope/var/Z2.pid ;; restart|reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: zope {start|stop|restart|reload}" exit 1 esac exit 0 Regards, Tom.

All,

I previously posted the scripts and configuration files I used to start and stop Zope. Now I have packaged those up into a HOWTO at Zope.org:
