Sure; after all, what is start.py itself?

Just instantiate a StorageServer with the correct parameters and run
asyncore.loop(). Something like this works:

    # Storages should be in a dictionary
    storages = {'main' : FileStorage("FOO.fs") }
    address = ('localhost', 4000)
    server = StorageServer(address, storages)
    asyncore.loop()

I've got a version implemented of a short script that takes
start/stop/status arguments, and when Johan gets back I'll ask him if
he's okay with sharing it. At any rate all it does is handle the
arguments and fork(). But why don't you use the scripts that come with
ZEO itself?

Take care,
