Application Start Type

[Eng. Wael Samaha]

I found it also in the official "application" module, application:info() , (which is 
calling application_controller internally) , but it is not specified in the 
documentation.
Is there any other documented and reliable way ?.

I got a way to get the application StartType using the below interface.
 application_controller:info().
But this module is an internal module within the Kernel application and not documented or recommended to be used externally.

Dear all,
    Is there a way to know the start type for currently started applications?.
I'm
asking because I have a live system with applications started on top of
it. Some of these application started as temporary and others started
as permanent. I need now to know only which are started as permanent to
stop and re-start again as temporary.
I know I can stop all
applications and start them again with the default type (temporary),
but I'm seeking for a way to only stop those are needed to be stopped.

Regards,
Wael
