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

[Vineet Naik]

Hi Roman,

Thanks for replying. I have <release-bundle>/log/sasl but it's empty. And
there is no
other file/dir in log dir. Do I need to include anything in code/config to
make
it log errors to a file?

Regards,
Vineet
