# An easy way to test run a cluster of erlang nodes. An idea for skelerl, does 
# not currently function.
# The following code would evaluate to running:
#
# erl -pa ./ebin -kernel inet_dist_listen_min 7000 inet_dist_listen_max 7050 \
#   -setcookie chordjerl -s chordjerl_srv start -s chordjerl_srv create_ring \
#   -sname node0 
#
# erl -pa ./ebin -kernel inet_dist_listen_min 7000 inet_dist_listen_max 7050 \
#   -setcookie chordjerl -s chordjerl_srv start -s chordjerl_srv state \
#   -chordjerl_srv join node0 -s init stop -sname node1
#
# I would probably add an 'iterm' directive to run nodes in consistent tabs.
## Suggestions?
