[erlang-questions] Running rebar generated release failing with Kernel pid terminated"

[Roman Gafiyatullin]

Vineet, most probably something went wrong during startup.
Can anything similar to sasl-error.log be found in the <release-bundle>/log/ directory?

The application controller may have shut down for a number of reasons, the most usual being that the node name of the distributed Erlang node is already in use. A complete supervisor tree "crash" (i.e., the top supervisors have exited) will give about the same result. This message comes from the Erlang code and not from the virtual machine itself. It is always due to some kind of failure in an application, either within OTP or a "user-written" one. Looking at the error log for your application is probably the first step to take.
