NAME

       dzhandle — Debian/Ubuntu Zope packages handling command line utility

SYNOPSIS

       dzhandle [options] action [action options]

DESCRIPTION

       dzhandle is the command-line utility for handling Zope servers, instances and products. It
       is a system administration tool and a Debian/Ubuntu maintainer's helper script at the same
       time:  using  dzhandle  you can manage your Zope installations, create instances, add Zope
       products to them, start and stop them, but it is  also  used  by  the  Debian/Ubuntu  Zope
       packages for their installation and removal.

       -z, --zope-version=ZVERSIONS

                           product  or  extension  available  will  be  automatically  installed,
                           `manual' means that the  products  or  extensions  will  be  installed

                           symlinked, `copied' means the file will be copied  into  the  instance
                           home.

                           means no automatic restart will happen.
