It worked in an initial small test, so thanks for creating this!

What I did notice is that afterwards I could not shut down my zope
instance anymore.  I started it on the foreground, then changed
something to cause a reload and then I could not use CTRL-C anymore to
stop the instance.  I had to use kill.

I take it collective.autorestart does not work when starting the
instance on the foreground?
