Question

I can run erl from my application and it must be turned on, I really don't want to make win32API Hook + sentMessage to run c(mymodulename), that's why I'm interesting if there some auto-load for modules or I can add it to erl properties ?

thank you.

Was it helpful?

Solution

erl -s module_name will call module_name:start ()

in module_name:start () you can call all what you want

OTHER TIPS

Generally, what you need is to use the OTP (Open Telecom Platform) features. You can define an Application and simplify any start-up procedure.

There's also a nice tool, rebar which will handle every aspect of application management from the start of your project to the deployment. It will generate Erlang/OTP configuration files, base application source files and start-up scripts.
