Version R2008b Installed on linux cluster windows cluster Executables matlab Documentation Homepage "Inessential MATLAB" Official Documentation Running Matlab in the Background matlab-nogui (run matlab without gui interface) /usr/bin/nohup matlab-nogui < inputfile > outputfile & (run matlab w/o gui, and put it into the background) /usr/bin/nohup nice -10 matlab-nogui < inputfile > output & (matlab, no gui, background, and nice it) When you put matlab in the background, it will continue to run even when you log out. If your matlab job is going to take serveral hours, you should always "nice" it, e.g. put it in a lower priority. You should always run your jobs with lower priorities when you're running long jobs. TroubleShooting X-Windows Emulator: MATLAB Sometimes Fails to Start error message: Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x13b)! One workaround to this problem is to start MATLAB with the -nodesktop startup option. Another workaround is to remove the MATLABDesktop.xml file from your preferences directory, which is the directory returned by MATLAB when you run the prefdir function. The preferences directory path is similar to this: C:\WINNT\Profiles\...\MATLAB\R14 You should then be able to start MATLAB without a problem. Before quitting MATLAB, be sure the desktop is not maximized because that might cause the problem to happen again.
