I want Matlab to run some .m file, which writes to a text file. I don't want the GUI to launch, and I don't want the command line interpreter to run. I've got
matlab -nodisplay -r myfile
But this still runs the interpreter. What options should I be using?
matlab needs to interpreter to run your commands. you can always end your file with quit to make matlab exit again when finished with your calculations
If you need to execute a matlab script you can do matlab -nodisplay < script.m. If you want to call a matlab function, you can do matlab -nodisplay -r "foo()". IIRC, in both cases matlab should exit once it is done.
