You always need somewhere for the output to go, even if you are coding for it to be thrown away.

If you script does not quit MATLAB (or something goes wrong with the script) then MATLAB is going to want to prompt for input, and it is going to need a command line for that.

start matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -minimize -r "try test; catch; end; quit" > NL0:

The try/catch ensures that there is smooth control even if there is an error in the script. The quit ensures that MATLAB exits after the script. The redirection to NL0: throws away any output. (NL: or NL0: is specific to MS Windows; the OS-X and Linux equivalent is /dev/null . On the other hand, neither OS-X nor Linux would use "start")

You might end up needing -nojvm as well.

What behaviour did you want then?

If "test" starts a GUI and you want it to run without command line and leave when the GUI exits, then in the routine that creates the graphics interface you need to waitfor() the figure right before returning.
