[erlang-questions] remsh

[Carlo Bertoldi]

Hello list,
  I'm trying to connect to a remote node and execute a function.
If I do it the manual way, it works:

erl -sname foo -remsh prova@REDACTED
1> probe_db_manager:cleanup().
true

But if I try to do it entirely from the cli it gets angry:

erl -sname foo -remsh prova@REDACTED -run probe_db_manager cleanup

{"init terminating in 
do_boot",{noproc,{gen_server,call,[{global,probe_db_manager},cleanup]}}}

probe_db_manager is a gen_server process.
I also tried this: erl -sname foo -remsh prova@REDACTED -run global 
whereis_name probe_db_manager
and it returns nothing.

Thanks,
  Carlo
