The main Zn documentation can be found at
http://zn.stfx.eu
more specifically
http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zinc-http-components-paper.html
and
http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/zn-talk-pharo-conference.pdf
Your issue is that you are confusing/mixing two things: a plain ZnServer and
ZnZincSeasideAdaptor.
If you are a regular Seaside user, there is no need to start a low level
ZnServer.
Use the Seaside control panel to start a ZnZincSeasideAdaptor (which will
automatically start and manage a ZnServer behind the scenes).
Or do it programmatically, as any Seaside adaptor:
ZnZincServerAdaptor startOn: 8080.
Your point 5 is because you started the default ZnServer which is
registered/managed automatically.
You only did a shutDown, not a stop. After an image save it will automagically
come up again. You can get rid of it by doing
ZnServer stopDefault.
All this is in the documentation.
HTH,
Sven
