[Zope] Is Anyone Listening?? Port 8021 Isn't!

I edited the *start* script thus:

#! /bin/sh
reldir=`dirname $0`
INST_HOME=`cd $reldir; pwd`
export INST_HOME
exec /usr/local/bin/python \
   $INST_HOME/z2.py -D -f8021 -w8080 "$@"

Nonetheless, port 8021 wasn't functioning upon reboot of Zope. (Strangely, 
*netstat -n -a* didn't show port 8080, either, although I could surf to 
Zope.) Would you mind explaining what the "$@" does? I can translate the 
shell script, but I don't understand what you're doing.

I couldn't find any error log by that name anywhere in my Zope 
installation. Does it only create itself if there is an error to log?
TIA,
