But I've done that (except name it *.sh, which I just did). And I'm not at the
server. It's on the other side of the globe. So I can't watch echo's pop up as
it boots. Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 60
if [ -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/mysql"
else
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/mysql"
fi
cd /usr/local/zope/
./instance1/bin/zopectl stop
./instance1/bin/zopectl start
./instance2/bin/zopectl stop
./instance2/bin/zopectl start
The sleep is in there to try to get it to run after everything else has come
up, but it doesn't help. If I run that script after boot, everything works out
fine.

Hey, now there's an idea! How do I do that? Or where do I go to study how to do
that?
TIA,
