Matlab Daemon

Unfortunately Mathworks has not designed Matlab to behave like the typical Unix interpreter, i.e., there is no #! ("shebang") support similar to Bash, Perl, or Python. This submission demonstrates how to set this up using only about 20 lines of bash (and a small mex program written in C).

To minimize execution time of each #! script, the provided Bash script establishes a background session of Matlab and re-uses this session as needed.

Please see "readme.html" for installation and comments.
