Start A process of another node

[maruthavanan s]

Hi,

I need to start and stop a process on another node

Say for e.g I have a main node in erlang.

I have another sub node in erlang. I need to start some process in main node from sub node shell.

I achieved this by using the below

spawn('mainnode@REDACTED',sample,start,[]).

but when I close the sub node the process is stopped. Is there any possibility that I can make the process live through out regardless of whether I close the sub node or not, the sample:start() would be running in main node?

Thanks,
Marutha
