Hi.

I'm using CentOs 5.7 and Erlang R14B03 (erts-5.8.4).

I tried to start two examples "misultin_app_example" and "misultin_websocket_event_example2". When I started it in erl shell all works great. But when I want to start it like linux daemon they do not work =(.

To run application I used this command:
erl -noshell -boot start_sasl -s application start misultin_app_example
I see information that SASL started and that is all. and looks like it starts erl shell and waiting some command from me.

To run misultin_websocket_event_example2 I used this command:
erl -boot start_sasl -s misultin_websocket_event_example2 start
I'm rewrote function misultin_websocket_event_example2:start/1 to misultin_websocket_event_example2:start/0.
I see a lot of debug information and all looks good but in the end:

=INFO REPORT==== 16-Feb-2012::15:25:37 ===

And I can't understand why it shutdown =(

I am very confused: why this works great in erl shell and cant work as usual linux background process.

Please help me.
