Making Zope and Oracle startup nicely together.

On our server, the Zope service is starting before the Oracle service is finished. The result is that the Zope server is running with all the connections closed. So the challenge is a way to make sure that the Zope startup waits for the Oracle server to finish first.
I've only got it in pseudocode at the moment:
# make sure the Oracle databases are all running
if (databases not running)
{
if (the startup process isn't running)
{
/sbin/service dbora start # or some such thing
}
while (dbstart still running)
{
wait
}
}
# finally, start Zope
/home/zope/start
I'll put the final solution up later.

Making Zope startup properly
It seems I was a little bit off the money. The problem seems to be unrelated to startup timing, and more to do with the service startup script. That is, when I do this:
# /sbin/service zope start
none of the DCOracle2 connections work at all. If however I do this:
# /home/zope/start
then they all do. I suspect it might have something to do with the INSTANCE_HOME environment variable. But I'll have to report back later.
