I forgot to mention, the script resides in the Zope directory. It *does* 
work for a while (i.e., finds ./start like it should) then complains that 
it can no longer find ./start

I don't want the server to be down even for a minute. Yeah, maybe it's 
anal. Maybe a cron script *would* work, but why would it work when this 
infinite loop script that sleeps fails? I don't get it. Thanks for pitching 
in. If you have more ideas, please lay them on me.
TIA,
BenO
