Running an application from the (unix) command line

[Pupeno]

I've read the FAQ and the manual, that is how I know erl -s takes Module 
[Fuction [Arguments]] and that is how I came up with
erl -s application start myapp
on the first place (which you cas nee I mention in my first mail), which 
doesn't work.
Thanks.
