by default Zope starts in debug mode and does not detach from the
controlling terminal.

Ctrl-C kills the Zope process.

My advice is to make a copy of the start file, and then edit that copy to
fit your needs. Specifically remove the -D option and include the -Z
option which will cause Zope to run in the background. My start_zope file
looks like this:

#! /bin/sh
PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/Zope
export PYTHONHOME
exec /usr/local/bin/python \
  /usr/local/Zope/z2.py \
  -Z /usr/local/Zope/var/Zope.pid \
  -a <ip add> \
  -d < my domain name server> \
  -u nobody \
  -w 8080 \
  -f 8021 \
  -m 8033 \
  -l /usr/local/Zope/var/ZServer.log

Happy Zoping
