However during setup I came across some WTF&rsquo;s, I want to share.</p> <p>What is empd?<br> epmd is a small name server used by Erlang programs when establishing distributed Erlang communications. ejabberd needs epmd to use ejabberdctl and also when clustering ejabberd nodes. If ejabberd is stopped, and there aren&rsquo;t any other Erlang programs running in the system, you can safely stop epmd.</p>
