[erlang-questions] erl_call problem

[Serge Aleynikov]

You normally receive 'salive' in the distribution protocol when you try
to connect to a server node from another client node that has a name
already known to the server node.

I.e.:

shell1> erl -sname a

shell2> erl_call -sname a -h b -a 'timer sleep [60000]'
shell3> erl_call -sname a -h b -a 'timer sleep [60000]'

You should get a failed 'salive' connection error in shell3.

Regards,

Serge
