Process alive ?

[Inswitch Solutions - Erlang Evaluation]

Ok, but I don't know the Pid of the process. For example I have a process
running in a node e1@REDACTED and another process running in a node
e2@REDACTED, from node e1 I need send a message to application running in e2
node, in node e1 I write the next code
{application, e2@REDACTED} ! {self(),  "Message to send"},
receive
    {ok, Reply} ->
          .....
end

But if the application it's not running in the e2 node I don't receive any
error.
