[erlang-questions] why not works command from shell

[Sergey Safarov]

Thank you Hugo
I created wrapper

[root@REDACTED test]# cat test.erl
-module(test).
-export([lookup/0, lookup_wait/0]).

lookup() ->
    io:format("Called lookup~n"),
    Result = inet_res:nslookup('example.org',in,a),
    io:format("Finished lookup. Result: ~p~n", [Result]).

lookup_wait() ->
    timer:sleep(5000),
    io:format("Called lookup_wait~n"),
    Result = inet_res:nslookup('example.org',in,a),
    io:format("Finished lookup_wait. Result: ~p~n", [Result]).


And get following results.
NXDOMAIN for lookup call.

[root@REDACTED test]# erl -noshell -run test lookup
Called lookup
Finished lookup. Result: {error,nxdomain}

Correct resolv when called lookup_wait.

[root@REDACTED test]# erl -noshell -run test lookup_wait
Called lookup_wait
Finished lookup_wait. Result: {ok,
                               {dns_rec,
                                {dns_header,1,true,query,false,false,true,
                                 true,false,0},
                                [{dns_query,"example.org",a,in}],
                                [{dns_rr,"example.org",a,in,0,81792,
                                  {93,184,216,34},
                                  undefined,[],false}],
                                [{dns_rr,"example.org",ns,in,0,81791,
                                  "a.iana-servers.net",undefined,[],false},
                                 {dns_rr,"example.org",ns,in,0,81791,
                                  "b.iana-servers.net",undefined,[],false}],
                                [{dns_rr,"a.iana-servers.net",a,in,0,168191,
                                  {199,43,135,53},
                                  undefined,[],false},
                                 {dns_rr,"a.iana-servers.net",aaaa,in,0,
                                  168191,
                                  {8193,1280,143,0,0,0,0,83},
                                  undefined,[],false},
                                 {dns_rr,"b.iana-servers.net",a,in,0,168191,
                                  {199,43,133,53},
                                  undefined,[],false},
                                 {dns_rr,"b.iana-servers.net",aaaa,in,0,
                                  168191,
                                  {8193,1280,141,0,0,0,0,83},
                                  undefined,[],false}]}}


Why resolv not work first five second of program start? What to do to
resolv this issue?
