[Zope] Zope on OpenBSD

[Adam Getchell]

Chris,

Your script worked, but Zope does not allow someone to login at the console
(as the output and process take up the screen). I tried modifying it to:

su - zope -c "/home/zope/start &"

But the process immediately dies. I thought Zope was supposed to start in
daemon mode?

Thanks,

Try something like this in the rc script:

su - zope -c "/home/zope/start"

HTH,
