[erlang-questions] how can I run emacs from erlang

[Håkan Mattsson]

It looks like you are trying to use Emacs without proper X settings.

Erlang R16B01 (erts-5.10.2) [source] [64-bit halfword] [smp:8:8]
[async-threads:10] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.10.2  (abort with ^G)
1> os:cmd("emacs").
[]
2> os:cmd("emacs -nw").
"emacs: standard input is not a tty\n"
3>
