This document describes the command-line arguments of Matlab rel. 12. Of course you can just run 'matlab -h' or 'matlab -help' to find out about them.
| Matlab command-line options (most usefull only shown) | |
|---|---|
| -h | Displays condensed help. |
| -n | Display final environment variables, arguments, and other diagnostic information. |
| -nodesktop | Do not start the MATLAB desktop; use the current terminal for commands. |
| -nodisplay | Do not display any X commands. The MATLAB desktop will not be started. However, unless -nojvm is also provided the Java virtual machine will be started |
| -nojvm | Shut off all Java support by not starting the Java virtual machine; in particular the MATLAB desktop will not be started. |
| -r <MATLAB_command> | Start MATLAB and execute the <MATLAB_command> |
| -Ddebugger <options> | Start debugger to debug MATLAB |
| -nosplash | Do not display the splash screen during startup |
Thus, if you want to use the current terminal to enter commands but have the full environment available if required use 'matlab -nodesktop'; If you do not plan to use the graphical environment at all then use 'matlab -nodisplay -nojvm'.
