[Zope] PLEASE HELP: automatic start when system boots

[Dunigan, Craig]

Are you using the zope start script (presumably in /usr/local/zope/2-1-2)
unmodified?  "Out of the box" that script enables debugging, with the -D
switch.  That leaves the console attached, which will cause problems like
you describe.  Take off that switch, or set the logging environment variable
STUPID_LOG_FILE in the script 'start,' with something like
'STUPID_LOG_FILE="$PYTHONHOME/var/<whatever-you-want-to-call-the-logfile>"
export STUPID_LOG_FILE'
The latter will direct debugging messages to the logfile instead of the
console, allowing the console to be detached.
