Run matlab script on remote windows computer using cmd

Hello,

I am trying to run several different MATLAB scripts on a remote windows computer to aggregate data from various sensors. How can I start a matlab script from cmd over ssh? I have tried matlab -nodesktop -noFigureWindows -nosplash -r "myscript; exit", but the script never runs.

I suspect that there is a conflict between the "-nodesktop" optoin and the "-r statement".

Try matlab -nodesktop -noFigureWindows -nosplash -batch "myscript"

From the document

-batch statement

Execute MATLAB script, statement, or function non-interactively. MATLAB:

• Starts without the desktop
• Exits automatically with exit code 0 if statement executes successfully. Otherwise, MATLAB terminates with a non-zero exit code.

-r statement

Execute the MATLAB statement. Use this option for interactive workflows. Do not use this option with the -batch option.

Thanks. This worked great, replacing -r with -batch.

I retract my previous statement. This doesnt work all the time. I run into a license issue if I ssh into the remote windows computer on startup and run a script. I can get the script to work if I remote desktop into the remote computer and open MATLAB first. This sequence allows me to run a command via ssh. Do you know how to fix this?

[Fangjun Jiang]

Need clarification.

1. Connect through a remote desktop APP

Run matlab -nodesktop -batch "myscript". Successful!

2. Connect through SSH

Run matlab -nodesktop -batch "myscript". License error!

What is the error message? What is the pwd() when you run "matlab" (are they different in the above two cases?). How is MATLAB license specified?

[Fangjun Jiang]

For license issue, you could specify a license file directly when calling "matlab", e.g.

matlab -c "c:\MathworksLicense\NetworkLicense.lic"
