Why does MATLAB hang on startup when run in the background on HP machines?
I can run MATLAB in batch mode on my HP machine, but if I try to run it in the background, it hangs on the splash screen:
matlab -r "disp('test')" &
I have even tried starting MATLAB without the splash screen and without the Java Virtual Machine, but the startup still hangs.
The same problems occur on HP-UX 10.2 and HP-UX 11.0, using MATLAB 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5 (R12, R12.1, and R13).
