2012-12-10Fix printout of application crash message on startupserge
This is what a sample crash message looks like before applying patch: Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,cmp,{{bad_return_value, {doc_root_not_exists,[46,47,119,119,119]}},{cmp_app,start,[normal,[]]}}}) This is what a sample crash message looks like after applying patch: Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,cmp,{{bad_return_value, {doc_root_not_exists,"./www"}},{cmp_app,start,[normal,[]]}}})
2012-09-13Don't allow {Mod,Vsn} in modules list in .app fileSiri Hansen
It was possible to insert {Mod::atom(),Vsn::term()} instead of Mod::atom() in the modules list in a .app file. This was not visible in the documentation of .app files, but it was visible in the documentation of application:load/[1,2] (where the .app file term can be used directly as first argument). The Vsn part was never used, so this possibility has now been removed.
2011-11-15Add env var shutdown_timeout to kernel to avoid deadlock on node shutdownSiri Hansen
When a node is shutting down, application_controller will do exit(Pid,shutdown) on all application masters, and wait for {'EXIT',Pid,_}. If, for some reason, the application master does not terminate then application_controller will hang forever waiting for this 'EXIT' message. To overcome this problem, a configurable timer is added to kernel - the enviroment variable 'shutdown_timeout'. If this variable is set to a positive integer T, application_controller will do exit(Pid,kill) after T milli seconds if no 'EXIT' message is received.
