Errors in Erlang

[Lennart Ohman]

Hi,
since your application stops "spontainously" (that is you
do not call application:stop/1), the answer is somewhere in
your supervisor structure spanning the processes belonging
to it.

My first suggestion is that you make sure you have the
sasl application running before starting your own application.
In that way you will get supervisor reports on what actually
starts and where it goes wrong.

Best regards,
Lennart
