This ends up doing "application:start([compiler])" which returns an error,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
init(3) probably ignores return value as it couldn't really know what to<br>

</div>No, it's quite rare to do that, the only use case I've seen is bringing<br>
protocol stacks up and down manually depending on availability of some<br>
backend connections (well, lazy man's way to do that anyway).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ok this is exactly what I thought.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, thank you,</div><div><br></div><div>r.</div><div> </div>
