Ah! Thank you: I see, now.

The only information I have thus far is that my little shell script 
complains that it can't find the ./start script, even after it's found it 
before. Perhaps it starts Zope, checks on Zope, then when Zope crashes 
suddenly it can no longer find the ./start file. But I can find it! It 
hasn't gone anywhere. Then, equally inexplicably, my infinite loop script dies.

I created a STUPID_LOG_FILE and made the appropriate changes (to ./start, I 
believe) but nothing's been reported. I just now made a log file for my 
shell script. We'll see if it catches anything.

I *have* noticed this:
 >>>

where the Hostname is different for each server, but this was due to moving 
the server and the problem was there prior to the move, so this problem may 
be cosmetic only.

Can you suggest other ways I try and catch this problem?
TIA,
