Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:52:41 -0400 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.926) X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org We need the ability to pass couchdb command line args down to the erlang vm. We'll need this for configuring erlang distributed computing, and need this for testing vm optimizations. Something like: $ ./couchdb -erl "-sname foo" And when the erlang vm is run, it passes "-sname foo" in with the other cmd line arguments. It's not a showstopper, for now just I'm editing the couchdb script file directly. But this is definitely a nice to have as more people will want to tweak their own installations. -Damien
