[Zope] how to programmatically control zope?

[David Pratt]

Hi Bruno.  Many thanks you for your reply.  Yes, I have been looking at 
this more.  With the help of Ron a few days back I am going to try a 
signaling process working with a daemon that uses a queue. So I am 
hoping for user to get response so zope thread is freed up, an 
asynchronous python method / daemon gets signal to run if not already 
running,  job gets added to queue and jobs run queue is empty (then 
daemon goes to sleep).

Regards,
David
