[erlang-questions] starting and cleanly stopping erlang

[Joe Armstrong]

I have written a linked-in driver - that appears to work. Let's assume it
is started with myLinkedInDriver:start() and stopped with
myLinkedInDriver:stop()

I want to do the following.

    - automatically start the linked-in driver when I start Erlang
    - automatically stop the linked in driver when I stop Erlang

I want to stop the linked in driver in a controlled manner. ie I want
*something* to call
myLinkedInDriver:stop() and allow me to close the thing down in an orderly
manner.

If my linked in driver is not correctly closed down then I'll have to do a
whole lot of work
the next time start the system.

What the minimal amount of junk I have to use to get this behaviour?

I think I need a minimum of an OTP application + a boot script + some
command
line arguments to erl to disable control C handling etc.

Does anybody know how do do this?
