[Zope-dev] Zope3 server control machinery is untested

[Jim Fulton]

This only applies to Zope3 developers and people using the Zope 3 ZMI.

I'm trying to get rid of ThreadedAsync.  zope.app.server uses it to  
cause the asyncore main loop to stop as part of the server-control  
functionality.

There are no tests for this afaict. Trying this throigh the web,  
shutdown seems to work, but not restart.  (It looks like restart  
doesn't work because the exit status os only used to exit the loop. It  
isn't used in the call to sys.exit.)

I propose, at least, to remove this untested functionality from  
zope.app.server.

I'd be for removing it from zope.app.twisted, if it is there, and for  
removing the UI from zope.app.applicationcontrol.

Thoughts?
