escript

[Jeffrey M. Einhorn]

I decided to give escript another try since there was some new
discussion about it recently, but I it doesn't seem to provide much
feedback when things fail.  Is there a way to turn on debugging type
messages?  Here is a little program I wrote to test it, but it never
makes it to the "Response" printout.

#!/usr/bin/env escript
                                                                             
                                                                                
-export([main/1]).
                                                                                
main([Node]) ->
    io:format("Start~n"),
                                                                                
    auth:cookie(['test']),
    Response = (catch net_adm:ping(Node)),
    io:format("Response from ~p is ~p~n", [Node, Response]),
                                                                                
    io:format("Done~n");
                                                                                
main(_) ->
    usage().
                                                                                
usage() ->
    io:format("Usage simple nodename ~n").


Thanks for your time,

Jeff
