here's a script with no error checking and stuff to pack using ZEO coolness.
collected from the lists.

-----------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
zopedir = "/usr/local/Zope"

os.chdir(zopedir +  "/lib/python")

try:
        import Zope
        app = Zope.app()
        app.Control_Panel.Database.manage_pack()
        get_transaction().commit()
        app._p_jar.close()
except:
        print" cant pack"
----------------------------------------

call it from a cronjob, every whatever day/hour/etc.  pass days=day_num in
manage_pack to only pack certain days

is this any good, bad, dangerous, missing?

thanks
