And how do I get the global registry?

The code is not being run out of Zope. It's just not part of any class, but 
it's only called when Zope is app and running.

This function is called upon a IProcessStartingEvent event:

def onStartup(event):
    """ Perform initializations on startup of the server. """
    refresher = loop.LoopTask(releaseRefreshEvent, interval=60)
    refresher.start()

in the releaseRefreshEvent I want to call all registered utilities:

def releaseRefreshEvent():
    """ Calls all utlities that have a INewsfeed interface registered. """
    utils = getUtilitiesFor(INewsfeed)
    for i in utils:
        print "Utility called:", i.__name__
        i.sendNotification()


but that always returns no utilites at all. IMHO the problem is that a site is 
not set. How would you do that? 
(sorry, your answer is somehow too sophisticated for me...)

Thanks,

Florian
