zopectl: interactive mode broken (Windows only)

[yuppie]

On trunk (and I guess also on the 2.12 branch) zopectl exits after most commands, e.g. after start, restart and stop. This is because do_windows always returns a true value. AFAICS only 'install' needs that return value. Here as a quick and dirty fix, but I'm sure there is a cleaner solution:

What do you mean by "exits"?
I'd expect:

$ zopectl start

...to return to the command line. What are you expecting?

Please do not apply the patch above.

By "interactive mode" I mean what you get if you just call zopectl without any command. In that case

zopectl> start

should return to the zopectl prompt and not to the command line.

The change which force exits from the "zopectl" shell is an unacceptable
breakage: in making it work on Windows, the change *breaks* everyday
usage on Unix.

@ Tres: ??? What are you talking about? How did the changes ChrisW made or my patch break things on Unix? AFAICS everything works fine on Unix.

If this doesn't affect Unix systems, then it isn't really a regression,
as zopectl hasn't worked properly on Windows since Zope 2.2 (I think).

Well. I fixed some small Windows issues before the 2.12.0 release and (at least for me) most zopectl commands are working with Zope 2.12.0. So I think this is a regression compared to Zope 2.12.0.

[ChrisW (chris-simplistix)]

Fix on 2.12 branch in r105393:

C:\Zope\2.12.0i>bin\zopectl.exe
program: C:\zope\2.12.0i\bin\runzope
daemon manager not running
zopectl> install
Installing service Zope-598538646
Service installed
zopectl> start
Starting service Zope-598538646
zopectl> stop
Stopping service Zope-598538646
zopectl> remove
Removing service Zope-598538646
Service removed
zopectl> quit
daemon manager not running

The "daemon manager not running" annoys me, I wonder if that can be fixed too?

[ChrisW (chris-simplistix)]

zopectl status fixed for Windows on Zope 2.12 branch in r105394

[ChrisW (chris-simplistix)]

Merged to Zope 2.12 trunk in r105396
