+
+        <p>Options <c>Username</c> and <c>Password</c> are used to log on to the

+          the current username. <c>Password</c> is empty by default.</p>
+
+        <p>A list of functions specified in option <c>Startup</c> are

+            <item><p>The time to start the Erlang node, in seconds. Defaults to
