[erlang-questions] Deployment of erlang apps.

[Oscar Hellström]

Hi,

For the ease of deployment in case of starting, stopping, monitoring, 
distribution etc. it is probably best to keep them as in one interpeter. 
You can for instance run it as a target system, which can be very 
convenient, both for distribution and for start/stop/monitoring. If you 
want to benefit from several processors / cores, you can use the SMP 
support added to recent Erlang distributions.

If it's *one* application (not Erlang application, but from a 
user/administrator perspective) I'd keep it as one OS process.
