[Zope] Strange Win2000 Service behaviour

[peter bengtson]

I restarted the Zope server from the Control Panel inside Zope and it took a
long time untill it was back up again. About 20 seconds.
During these 20 seconds, I started to suspect that the service wasn't
working, so I manually pressed the "Start" on the Zope Server inside the
Control panel in windows. I couldn't. Below is the traceback I got.
I suspect that it means that the Zope server is already running and that I
can't start it again (see error and Fs.lock stuff).

It turned out that the server was actually running since people on the
intranet was using it at the same time as I was struggling with getting the
service running.
Now the server is running fine, but if I go into the Services in
Administrative Tools of the Control Panel, the service ZopeSite is "turned
off".
So from a quick look on the Win2000 server you can't tell whether the Zope
Server actually is running, unless you open a web browser.

Strange. It's not a production server and I guess the w2k needs a robust
restart with a little kick in the machines direction.

Here's the Traceback I got when I tried to start it because I thought it was
started:
