[erlang-questions] Issue: erl/yaws init

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

The flag -s can take <module> <function> <arg1> <arg2> ...
That is a variable amount of arguments.
To handle that, the arguments are assembled into a list before the call.

In your case :
application:start( [my_app] )

This is not the same as
init() ->
    application:start(my_app).
