[erlang-questions] running multiple instance of app release

[Alex Shneyderman]

have a look at the two links below for inspiration:

https://github.com/rustyio/BashoBanjo
https://github.com/rzezeski/try-try-try/tree/master/2011

their technique is to provide per instance/node parameter files and
generate separate releases for each node (specifying parameter files
to rebar on command line and specifying output directory). They both
use riak-core but you could copy their use of rebar without the need
for riak-core.

Cheers,
Alex.

Prior to this change my deliverable was basically the ebin, maybe the include, directory for my application that would be located in /usr/lib/me/lib/myapps/.... To run the application I would export ERL_LIBS as /usr/lib/me/ the start the node with -sname -config, etc. and off it went. In this way I can run the application many times with different -sname args.

It appears that the generated script for starting/stopping the application does not support command line options/arguments. Without being able to set the node name how can run the same app more than once.
