[erlang-questions] Problem attaching a shell to an Erlang node started through SSH

[Ivan Uemlianin]

Dear André

This is what we're doing (see my recent email) and the erlang is working fine. I'll be at the office this afternoon to check properly but here are a few differences:

- our fab script uses sudo() instead of run();
- this function calls an unit script instead of calling the release start directly.

What are the symptoms?

Best wishes
