man dzhandle (Commandes) - Debian/Ubuntu Zope packages handling command line utility

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.

Print usage information and exit
-f, --force
