[Zope] start zserver with cronjob

[AM]

based onwhat distro you are running you could make it start up at boot 
time. My startup script on RH 8.0 ( in /etc/rc.d/init.d & set up using 
chkconfig )  is like this:

------ code -----

#! /bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 2345 98 98
# description: Zope Web Server
#
# processname: zope

# Source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo -n "Starting Zope: "
    su - zope /var/local/zope/start > /dev/null 2> 
/var/log/zope/startup.log &
    echo_success
    echo
    ;;
  stop)
    echo -n "Stopping Zope: "
    /var/local/zope/stop
    echo_success
    echo
    ;;
  restart|reload)
    $0 stop
    $0 start
    ;;
  status)
    if [ -f /var/local/zope/var/Z2.pid ]; then
      echo -n "Zope (pid `head -1 /var/local/zope/var/Z2.pid`) is 
running..."
    fi
    echo
    ;;
  *)
    echo -n "Usage: service zope {start|stop|reload|restart|status}"
    echo
    exit 1
esac

exit 0

------ code -------

Then use chkconfig -add <script name>
