[erlang-questions] How to debug handle_info EXIT message?

[Ladislav Lenart]

Hello.

The process <0.2637.0> terminated with reason 'normal'. Your gen_server process
received the 'EXIT' message because:
 * <0.2637.0> and your gen_server were linked together AND
 * your gen_server is trapping exits, i.e. it invoked process_flag(trap_exit,
true) in its init/1.

See also the following documentation:
 * process_flag/2 - http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#process_flag-2
 * spawn_link/1 - http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#spawn_link-1
 * link/1 - http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#link-1


HTH,

Ladislav Lenart
