Because the start script runs Zope  in Debug mode by default (-D), it does 
not background.  Either run  ./start &   or remove the -D from the start 
script.

Personally, i have added the following line to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local :

/bin/su -l zope --command=/usr/local/zope/start &

I have added a user called zope, and 'chown'ed all the zope files to user 
zope group zope.


Alternatively, you CAN run zope from inittab by adding:
zo:234:respawn:/bin/su zope -c /usr/local/zope/start >/dev/msglog2 
<>/dev/msglog </dev/console

This will mean that if, for some bizarre reason, zope crashes (or is killed), 
it will restart.
