It's running all the time. On NT the most likely option is it's running
as a service, but you may also start it by hand. It will be both
published by the pcgi and on Apache also fcgi _and_ the ZServer
interface. They will be accessible through different ports
(archetypically pcgi through 8090 and ZServer through 8080. Look in your
<ZopeRoot>/z2.py file for the annotated startup options.
