erl VM - how to load my module on startup ( c(modulename) )

I can run erl from my application and it must be turne开发者_Go百科d on, I really don't want to make win32API Hook + sentMessage to run c(mymodulename), that's why I'm interesting if there some auto-load for modules or I can add it to erl properties ?

thank you.

erl -s module_name will call module_name:start ()

in module_name:start () you can call all what you want

Generally, what you need is to use the OTP (Open Telecom Platform) features. You can define an Application and simplify any start-up procedure.

There's also a nice tool, rebar which will handle every aspect of application management from the start of your project to the deployment. It will generate Erlang/OTP configuration files, base application source files and start-up scripts.
