Quick answer:

Add a line similar to the following to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

/usr/local/zope/start &

This will take care of starting it up automatically.

Longer answer:

If you want to do it "properly", with init.d scipts, etc. (so it also
shuts down automatically on system shutdown, for instance), this howto:

http://www.zope.org/Members/jec/startstop_howto_html

is very useful in this respect. It describes a scheme to allow you to
start and stop multiple instances of Zope. Part of this scheme
is a good, working, set of scripts to manage startup & shutdown.

If you want to have just one instance, just make sure the
"instances" file (described in the howto) has a single entry,
and that the "instance_name" for that entry is just "." (ie a
single dot). This is what I've done, and it seems to work fine.

Good luck!
