[Zope] Xron on Zope v.2.3.1

[Loren Stafford]

If you have FTP access to the Zope "products" directory and "var" directory
you can use the FrozenLogger product to set STUPID_LOG_FILE and start
logging. Even tho your methods don't create output, Xron logs every
scheduled event and shows any errors that might occur.
