no how can i run 2 zope processes from the same instance home with 2 different config files?

What version of Zope is this?

Should be fine, provided the instances are configured to use different pid files, log files, local zodb cache files, etc...

a few observations: - running several zope processes inside one instance_home is very simple via modified runzope shell scripts (just modify config filename) - trying the same via zopectl is a pita because: o when doing a "zopectl start" it calls runzope in the end and does not pass the config filename, instead runzope uses the hardcoded one in itself o zopectl abviously uses hard coded socket name and the daemon manager refuses to start up twice... o i got tired trying to fix that stuff, as making my own set of startup scripts calling runzope only took me very little time. works for me now. what's the point of that really complex daemon manager anyway? - i have not observed any product that puts runtime data in the instance_home, except ThreadSafeCounter which uses lock files in instance_home/var. i want to share these lock files between processes anyway, so this is rather good than bad. no problems with my other products. best regards, jürgen --
