Process Monitoring

[Evans, Matthew]

Hi

I asked this question a while ago, but no takers.

I wish to monitor multiple processes on a remote card. Would the best approach be to do erlang:monitor/2, or do erlang:monitor_node/2 and write a simple (local) mechanism to alert interested parties locally?

I guess the bigger question is: Is there any overhead of doing remote erlang:monitor/2 calls? Since gen_server uses it my guess is no.

Thanks

Matt
