[erlang-questions] Error handling

[Bob Cowdery]

I have a node on a RaspberryPi and am spawning a process on there from 
another PC. The Pi process is failing to start because the appropriate 
hardware is not connected so its throwing an exception. However, the 
only information that the spawning process gets is **Can not start ... 
on ... **. The Pi node does not report the error. It makes no difference 
if I use spawn or spawn_link. How do I get the exception information 
back to my spawning process.
