running matlab using command line

I am running matlab using Command line and using the following command to run the matlab.

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017b\bin\matlab.exe" -nodisplay -nosplash - nodesktop -r "run('Main.m');"

What should I add to this command to make sure Matlab doesn't get open and it just runs behind the scene and close automatically?

[Jan]

By the way, why not -r "Main;" instead of -r "run('Main.m');"?

And for belt and suspenders, make sure Main.m ends with "exit"

[Jan]

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017b\bin\matlab.exe" -nodisplay -nosplash - nodesktop -r "Main; exit"

For R2019 users: -nodisplay & -nodesktop do not exist. Use:

matlab -batch "Main; exit"

Hi Jan, do you know how to prevent Matlab from opening that separtate Command Prompt window when launching it from the command line from R2019 and upwards?

Thanks!

[Jan Siegmund]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. For me, this does not open a separate command prompt. The command starts the Matlab prompt, executes main, executes exit and returns to the system shell. Do you want to omit the Matlab command prompt?

Append an ampersand (&) to the command string

I am running a Matlab script at startup using the command as follows:

matlab.exe -r "run('C:\Users\User\Desktop\Realtimevis\RealtimeMeteoVisualization.m');"

The script opens up a figure to display some measurements in real time. How can I hide the Matlab command window while allowing the script to show the figure?

Thank you!

Best regards,
