When I run MATLAB from a Terminal window with this command
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab
it opens MATLAB normally.
I have been experimenting with Automator to open MATLAB as part of a workflow. Inside Automator, I choose "Run Shell Script" and put the above command inside the script.
I then run the application. It definitely opens MATLAB -- the splash screen appears -- but then it shuts down immediately, presumably because the script is completing and exiting. Anyone know how to get MATLAB to stay open in this situation?

Two possibilities to try:
  • Add -desktop to the command line invocation of MATLAB
  • Add & to the end of the command line to fork the MATLAB process

Thanks, Ken. (Had a suspicion you would step in here!)
I tried the ampersand already, to no avail, but I'll try the -desktop as well.

Using "-desktop" did it! Thanks.
Just because you may be interested in why ...
I was doing it to see if I could get around the blurry rendering on Retina displays that recent versions of MATLAB have.
The answer there only works for MATLAB called from a shell, so I wanted to try it, but using automator to call the shell from the dock.
Added these lines to the bash script:
export MATLAB_JAVA="/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab -desktop
and voila, crisp MATLAB again!
