Thanks, Garrett.  I'll give that a try.  Having no luck with erld.  I keep getting "Already running on pid 0"

Cheers,
Lee

If so, what is the best to get the PID of the running Erlang app, so I can monitor it?  I've tried to do this with a service script, but querying $! reveals nothing and there are just too many apps supporting my Erlang app to keep track of.  If Monit is NOT the best option, then what is?
