tells you that the system tried to execute hello:start(), which is the
behaviour when only specifying the module name after -s

>From the docs:

-s Mod [Func [Arg1, Arg2, ...]](init flag)

Makes init call the specified function. Func defaults to start. If no
arguments are provided, the function is assumed to be of arity 0. Otherwise
it is assumed to be of arity 1, taking the list [Arg1,Arg2,...] as
argument. All arguments are passed as atoms. See
init(3)<http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/init.html>
.


regards,
Vlad
