Is there a way to invoke Matlab to run a single m-file?
The purpose is to be able to "build" matlab output files
from a make file.

matlab -r matlab_cmd


I haven't done this since version 3.5 or so, so you might need to play
with it.

matlab -help does work for release 14 running in linux.

Thanks Stan. The following did it:

matlab -r mymatlabfunction -nodesktop -nojvm -nosplash <exitcmd.txt

where "exitcmd.txt" is:

exit

It's MUCH faster getting in and out, too.

Can't answer this specific question, but if your m file is
appropriately constrained, then you can certainly run it from
octave at the command line. I frequently use it from make files
in exactly this way, for building dependent coefficient tables,
and the like.

(Actually, I'm moving towards using Python for this purpose,
because it's more readily available, thanks to simpler licence
conditions. It does have its own limitations, though, so the move
is gradual...)

When we decide to use Platform like Python instead of Matlab,
we should not forget the running speed which is now very high in Matlab
because it can compile m-codes very effectively.
