That’s a good point. How is that normally checked? I know there are some environment variables that are set in a release, e.g. RELEASE_ROOT, but is there a better way?
I saw a tip in this post, which is to use this command line argument:
-kernel shell_history_path `pwd | sed 's/.*\///g'`.erl.history
Maybe this behaviour is something that could be standardized as well?
