Network IOs are not redirected, but stdout and file IO seems to be :-)

Do you know a solution to have the same function as slave:start,
without redirection ?
- start a remote node using rsh
- stop remote nodes when killing master

Actually, I do that with os:cmd("ssh remote erl ..."), but it's not
very clean. And the remote erlang vm is not killed when I kill the
master.
