zope hangs vs: Re: [Zope] ZServer Must Be Continually Re-Started:my Method to stop zope dead:

Not mad, definitely worth a poke around.

I noticed this first with 1.10 on a production site. It would chug away
happily during the day then die when I first opened a management screen
the next morning. It seemed that it was that first management screen
which caused bother - when serving ordinary pages after a long period of
inactivity, it seemed happier.... A cron script to restart at 2am every
morning has been running for a long time now and it certainly helps.
