I'm not sure if it works for version 5 or not (since I only have 6.1 to work with). Typing "matlab -tty" on my system causes matlab to startup in the same terminal window (instead of spawning a separate command window). Looking through an older version of FS-FAST that we use (fsfast-010328), I found that the scripts start matlab using the "$MATLAB -tty" command, instead of the "$MATLAB -display iconic" command that is found in the latest version of fs-fast.
I would assume that the command line parameter of "-display iconic" should give the same result as "-tty": that is, we want matlab to start in the same terminal window as the script is run, so that we can pass an external script to matlab. As is with my previous questions, I'm not sure if this is a problem with my particular combination of matlab and fs-fast, or a problem caused by the MIT customizations to the software; I have no way of testing it without the MIT distribution of matlab. In any event, would it be possible (in a future version) to have an environment variable like $MATLAB_ARGS that allows the user to change/add arguments for the matlab command line? I'd love to be able to suppress the splash screen that way. Thanks, Nick
