I'd like to compare notes on this. Where's the control script that you are using? I'm hoping that we can use (some future evolution of) zdaemon/{zdaemon,zdctl}.py in the Zope 2.7 trunk. This separates the concerns of - the actual server process (Zope/ZEO/ZRS; for ZEO, this is runsvr.py) - a daemon subprocess manager, which restarts the subprocess when it dies, etc. (zdaemon.py) - a tool to control the subprocess manager, telling it to start/restart/stop the server subprocess, etc. (zdctl.py) > * config file for all options including logging, > servers, and databases. > * real "effective user" support (logfiles, database files, etc. > dont get written as root if you start as root). > * better support for instance home/software home split > * better support for Windows services I'd like to hear more about this; my zdaemon.py currently doesn't do Windows at all.

Apologies in advance: my refrain seems to be "where's your code for X?" -- there's so much good stuff in your branch that I don't know where to begin, especially not with the Zope part (in ZODB, I know my way around better). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
