Logically, you want to have the storage running whenever the appserver is up, so start it first and stop it last.

Right. Except this calls for some additional logic rather than chaining the z*ctl commands. Oh well...

then again, I guess if Zope if about to go down anyway, it does not really matter if ZEO is stopped a split of a second before.

I dunno about that. I have not done a proper experiment but my impression is that if zope is busy, it takes a really long time to shut down when the zeo server has died... maybe there are write transactions pending and zope is patiently waiting for a zeo connection to handle them. Or something like that, I don't know. Haven't bothered to check it out because i so rarely need to shut down ZEO. It stays up pretty much forever. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
