[erlang-questions] silent death of node

[Dmitry Kolesnikov]

Hello,

Finally, I've discovered the issue. This was a bug in my code :-(
I was leaking a file descriptors. Node got out of them, I was not able to attach to it anymore...

The application is trivial it opens tcp/ip socket and periodically dumps a file to it, supervisor is used to manage processes, etc. I am using rebar to package the app andotp runtime. The application is started as expected but after some time it hands up. Both lager and sasl logs are empty, no error, crashes are reported. Any node attach attempts are failed with error 'Node is not running'...
