[Zope] Keeping Zope Alive

> not a simple problem.

Its not that bad, zope 2 just makes it needlessly difficult.  Throw
away z2.py, it violates the core unix principle of combinging small,
simple, programs to accomplish grand tasks.  Write a simple
replacement that does only what you need it to do, logs to stdout, and
doesn't do any of the usual daemon junk.  Leave that up to a toolset
like http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html instead.  Set it up, sit back,
and crack a beer.

The only downside to this approach is that currently logging and
signal handling are something of a moving target in Zope CVS so you
may want to wait for it to stabilize somewhat if you're running the
bleeding edge code.
