Thanks for all the replies.  Below is the script I wrote to start
zope.  Its simple.. I'd appreciate any comments on how it might be
enhanced.


#!/bin/sh
#
# zope startup for bsd rc script by David Bear
#
ZHOME="/somevol/somedir"
ZSTART=${ZHOME}"/start"
ZSTOP=${ZHOME}"/stop"
ZUSER="www"  # or whoever the web user is
SUCMD="/usr/bin/su"
case "$1" in
        'start')
                echo "Starting Zope "
		if test -x ${ZSTART} ; then
		 	${SUCMD} ${ZUSER} "-c" ${ZSTART} &
		fi
                ;;
        'stop')
                echo "Stoping Zope"
		if test -x ${ZSTOP} ; then
			${ZSTOP}
		fi
		;;
	*)
		echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
		;;
esac
