[erlang-questions] dynamic node creation?

[Steve Kirsch]

well, it works as long as epmd is already running on your system. If it
isn't, you'll get:
1> net_kernel:start([myname, shortnames]).

=INFO REPORT==== 3-May-2009::20:41:14 ===
Protocol: "inet_tcp": register error: {{badmatch,{error,econnrefused}},
                                       [{inet_tcp_dist,listen,1},
                                        {net_kernel,start_protos,4},

                                        {gen_server,init_it,6},
                                        {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}

so you need to start epmd, or start another node which is distributed
before you make the call to transform yourself.

  AFAIK, this would turn a non-distributed node into a distributed
  one.

  For starting new nodes, check out the 'slave' module in stdlib.
