Function Node on start not sending message

[Steve-Mcl]

@DustyButler

node.send() does not send anything

It does, but it is dependant on order of creation and other factors. Read this: Messages sent via "On Start" only reliable on partial deploy but not during " nodered.service" start. Possible? - #7 by Steve-Mcl

return msg; gives a "ReferenceError: msg is not defined"

As I would expect. The function will not have received an input msg, so it does not exist. (On start is the start of it's life's time & has never received a message)
