Has anyone attempted to start an erlang node from inittab? For example,<br>something like<br><br> n0:2345:/usr/sbin/erl -noshell<br><br>or for the more crazy out there doing embedded systems: Replacing<br>/sbin/init with an erlang node? Now I've have no idea what the advantage
<br>or disadvantages of such a set up would be. It's just a random thought<br>that occured to me and I was interested to know if anyone had tried it.<br><br><br>Jeff.<br>_______________________________________________
