[erlang-questions] Newbie question - running qdate results in noproc, gen_server exception

[Jesse Gumm]

Hi Carlos,

If you do application:start(qdate), it'll start the server appropriately
and keep it running.

That said, I've been planning on removing the running server requirement,
as it's almost certainly not necessary, and most anything the server does
can be safely replaced with environment vars.

Take care,

-Jesse
