[erlang-questions] Start A process of another node

[Michael Truog]

If you are using the slave module in the stdlib, since it tries to
cleanup zombie nodes. Since the process is not spawned with a link, it
shouldn't die. If your shell is attached to the node and you do abort
(after Ctrl-C), that could take it down. Instead you should do Ctrl-C twice.
