Standard unix daemon

[Serge Aleynikov]

You can run a distributed node using "-sname NAME" option, and use 
another instrance of Erlang to force a distributed stop like this:

$ run_erl -daemon tmp/pipe/ tmp/log/ \
     "exec erl -sname a -boot fanterlasticfour"

$ erl -eval "case rpc:call(a@`hostname -s`, init, stop, []) of " \
             "ok -> erlang:halt(0); " \
             "_  -> erlang:halt(1)  " \
             "end." \
       -hidden -noshell

Or you can acomplish the same using erl_call utility (see: "erl -man 
erl_call"):

$ erl_call -sname a -a "init stop"
