Yes, zopectl actually handling that - it drops privileges to user that's
defined in ${instance}/etc/zope.conf (default `www'). I changed REQUIRE
to LOGIN though.

I merged all the changes from you except this part:

 cmd="$1"
-[ $# -gt 0 ] && shift
-[ -n  "$*" ] && zope213_instances="$*"
+shift
+zope213_instances="$@"

Dunno why, but it didn't working - service just doesn't starting. To be
honest, i'm half-understand your changes because i mooched
shell-scripting lessons in the school.

I understand what you talking about, and i'm agree that this is not much
correct to not have default value for an instance. I'll try to follow
you suggestions and kode to implement this behaviour, thank you!
