[erlang-questions] Mnesia supervisor restart strategy...

Dan,

My understanding is that you can specify options for an application as
follows:

   - On the command line as -MyAppName key value
   - In the config file as {MyAppName, [{key, value}]}
   - In the .app file

The command line overrides the config file settings, which override the app
file settings.

On the command line, writing -mnesia foo bar simply inserts the key/value
pair {foo, bar} into the application environment for mnesia. I expect (but
am no expert) that you shoud be able to put the values in the config file
just as you can for sasl and any other app.

Example:
[
    {sasl,
        [
            {sasl_error_logger, {file, "/tmp/foo.sasl_log"}}
        ]
    },
    {mnesia,
        [
            {dir, "/my/mnesia/dir"}
        ]
    }
]

It's worth a try anyway.

Regards,
Ed
