[erlang-questions] Resisting "noconnection" / Remote termination of nodes

Hi Felix,
Thanks for your answer. However I am not sure it would prevent
'noconnection' to happen anymore than the previous solutions?
I imagined that there was at least another process that was concurrently
trying to interact with the halted node, but I did not find any.
Maybe, when raising a 'noconnection' error, specifying its origin could
help (ex: "'noconnection' triggered because process whose PID is P1 (on
node N1) tried to send message M to process whose PID is P2 (on node
N2)"). It would be very convenient!
Strangely enough, as I had an idle process on each of the nodes to halt, I
made it terminate its node (executing directly halt() rather than using
rpc:cast/3 to trigger the halt()) and 'noconnection' does not happen
anymore. So, in some way, problem solved!
Thanks,
Best regards,
Olivier.

nodes
Please note that shutdown/1 is not synchronous in my example.
