Thank you, badlop. This method works correctly.

Maybe the erlang node runs as

Maybe the erlang node runs as root:

(ejabberd@localhost)1> os:cmd("whoami").
"root\n"

and it now doesn't have access to the X system in your machine.

How you can give access for your X to the "root" user: add in your $HOME/.bashrc file this line:

export XAUTHORITY=/home/`whoami`/.Xauthority

An alternative is to run the erlang node as your user:

$ whoami
badlop
$ ./configure --enable-user=badlop
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ ejabberdctl live
(ejabberd@localhost)1> os:cmd("whoami").
"badlop\n"
(ejabberd@localhost)2> appmon:start().
{ok,<0.558.0>}
(ejabberd@localhost)3>
