title: Connecting to Nodes from scripts?
body: <p>I am trying to test a system by calling a function I have written, which is in a script and is compiled on the Erlang shell (on windows).</p>
  
  <p>The function connects to other nodes (which are running).</p>
  
  <p>I am getting a problem stating that "Can not start erlang:apply,[......" and I think this is because I have not started the shell to act as a distributed node.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please advise what I need to do to be able to run a script from the shell, which messages other Nodes?</p>
