start erlang application from command line
I have an erlang application, compiled with rebar.
Normally I start it with like this:
application:start(myapp).
from inside the erl shell.
Could anyone tell me how to start it like a normal command line program?
Answer
You can do:
erl -pa ebin -eval "application:start(myapp)"
If you want it to run in the background, add -noshell -detached
