noshell problem

[Chris Williams]

Hi,
The noshell option will still give printouts in a shell but you will
not be able to write to it

A better option it to start the system in "embedded mode" with the
command
run_erl
eg. $BINDIR/run_erl $PIPEDIR $LOGDIR "exec $BINDIR/erlexec \
                                        -boot $RELDIR/start \
                                        -s session start"> /dev/null
2>&1 &

Where:
PIPEDIR="/tmp/" or where you want
BINDIR="/tmp/" or where you want

This will run the your system in the background.
