[erlang-questions] Lager fatal errors when starting an application using erlsrv, but not werl

[Sean Cribbs]

Hi Jim,

When you run headless, there is no console/tty/stdio/etc. In Riak, we solve
this using run_erl, which creates UNIX FIFO files that can be attached to
separately and replace the standard in/out. I suspect there's nothing
similar on Windows and this is the problem you're running into.
Unfortunately we don't yet run on Windows.

However, we also found console output to have a significant impact on
performance in many cases, so in production deploys we generally exclude it
and just send it to a file instead.
