[Zope] Mac OS X Server StartupItem for Zope

[Hugo Ramos]

These worked for me:

cat /Library/StartupItems/Zope/Zope

#!/bin/sh

##
# Zope Web Application Server
##

. /etc/rc.common

StartService ()
{
    if [ "${ZOPESERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
        ConsoleMessage "Starting Zope Application Server"
        /www/Zope-2.10.3/inst1/bin/zopectl start
    fi
}

StopService ()
{
    ConsoleMessage "Stopping Zope Application Server"
    /www/Zope-2.10.3/inst1/bin/zopectl stop
}

RestartService ()
{
    if [ "${ZOPESERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
        ConsoleMessage "Restarting Zope Application Server"
        /www/Zope-2.10.3/inst1/bin/zopectl restart
    fi
}

RunService "$1"


cat /Library/StartupItems/Zope/StartupParameters.plist
