Actually, I intentionally created these processes to be 
"outputless", since the Xron doc says:

 "Any output produced by a XronDTMLMethod is written to the log. 
  A XronDTMLMethod does not have to produce output, but if it does 
  produce output, it may need to set the response headers."

Since I don't have very complete access to the host, and can't 
even read the start and stop scripts, let alone configure them, 
this seemed like the best approach. Now the disadvantages are 
starting to show up. 

After seeing your post about installing "Refresh", and re-naming 
Xron's __init__, restarting Zope, and "Refresh-ing", it seemed 
to be worth a try. When "Refresh" unzipped it created a subfolder 
under the Zope "root". Then it didn't do what I expected because 
no "Refresh" tabs showed up. That's another topic, though. 

To test the "fact" that the times keep updating, I tried setting 
a very short interval. Now it's clear they are not updating so 
it looks like Xron is "locked" after all. I'll let you know if 
anything changes.

Thanks for your reply,
