Re: [Zope] newbie question: restart zope remotely?

console to restart zope (version 2.5, windows). In the past zope has come right back up, no problem. But not this time. So I'm not geographically near my server, and was wondering if I can run a script to restart remotely?
That's one of the reasons not to use Windows for server tasks. In case the machine still runs it would be possible to solve the situation using a remote control program like VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/). Still this has some security implications because VNC itself doesn't have encrypted communication builtin.

But tunelling it over SSH is encrypted ;-) cheers, Chris

You can install a sshd for Windows NT / Windows 2000 (there are some commercial sshd servers available). Then you can connect through ssh to the box and run the start.bat script (or do other things from the commandline like stopping and starting services etc. Contrary to popular belief, Windows Nt *IS* manageable from the commandline!

thanks for all of the suggestions. I found that the problem with zope not restarting on the win server machine was due to a problem with a product not finding the correct version of python. So I removed the offending product and now zope restarts just fine (zope 2.5 running as a service under win nt) and: ok, ok, I'll change over to linux. Agreed: many advantages, just not gobs of time to make the changeover yet. Any suggestions (not to start a war here) about which version of linux is best for zope? If anybody wants to weigh in it's probably best to do it off-list (since this is not a zope/linux list): rhood@mtsu.edu thanks, Robert
