[Zope] Startup script for Zope 2.x on RedHat Linux 6.0

[Svante Kleist]

If you study the "start" script, you'll see that it
calls "z2.py" with the "-D" option. "z2.py" tells you:

- - - 
  -D

    Run in Zope debug mode.  This causes the Zope process not to
    detach from the controlling terminal, and is equivalent to
    supplying the environment variable setting Z_DEBUG_MODE=1
- - -

So just remove this option and "start" will detach.

I have a file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/zope" like so:

- - -
#!/bin/sh
#
# description: Runs Zope

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions


# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
	echo -n "Starting Zope: "
	touch /var/lock/subsys/zope
	daemon /usr/local/src/Zope/start
	echo
	
	;;
  stop)
	echo -n "Shutting down Zope: "
	/usr/local/src/Zope/stop
	rm -f /var/lock/subsys/zope
	echo
	;;
  status)
	status zope
	;;
  restart)
	$0 stop
	$0 start
	;;
  *)
	echo "Usage: zope {start|stop|status|restart}"
	exit 1
esac

exit 0
