[rabbitmq-discuss] connecting to Rabbit's node

[Cermak, Marek]

Hello,
I want to connect to Rabbit's Erlang node to make analysis (appmon and
so). I have debian squeeze in vbox, rabbit 2.6.1, same cookie file as in
~rabbitmq/ and as a root I try to run

$ erl -sname rabbit -remsh rabbit at debian


the output is
-----

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller)
({application_start_failure,kernel,{shutdown,{kernel,start,[normal,[]]}}
})
-----

head of erl_crash.dump (is it enough?) would be:

$ head erl_crash.dump
=erl_crash_dump:0.1

Slogan: Kernel pid terminated (application_controller)

What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks for help
