Hi Folks, Thanks for help. I did what suggested below. We also set a crontab to restart the zope server every night, but them I was wondering if it is a good idea.

What you are trying to accomplish/resolve by restarting zope everynight? I can't think of any real downside to doing it, but it shouldn't be necessary - we once had a production server that ran for over 13 months, continuously, without ever being restarted! (now that's a stable platform!)

Isn't it better to just restart the server when you have updated the software?
