I have a python script which manages an Erlang daemon. Everything works fine when used through a shell once the system is initialized.
Now, when I included the same script under "/etc/init.d" and with the symlinks properly set in "/etc/rcX.d", the python script still works but my Erlang daemon fails to start and leaves no discernible traces (e.g. crash_dump, dmesg etc.)
I also tried setting the environment variable "HOME" through 'erl -env HOME /root' and still no luck.
Any clues?
