[erlang-questions] application:start() works but -s command line switch crashes

[Schneider]

Hi list,

 

Starting my application from the command line with -s gives an error 

 

$ erl -sname rpi2 -pa ebin/ -pa deps/*/ebin/ -s othost

Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [source-07b8f44] [async-threads:10]
[kernel-poll:false]

 

{"init terminating in
do_boot",{undef,[{othost,start,[],[]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,
[]}]}}

 

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

init terminating in do_boot ()

 

Starting the application like this works fine:

 

$ erl -sname rpi2 -pa ebin/ -pa deps/*/ebin/

Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [source-07b8f44] [async-threads:10]
[kernel-poll:false]

 

Eshell V6.0  (abort with ^G)

(rpi2@REDACTED)1> application:start(othost).

 

What is going wrong here?

 

Thanks

Frans
