Hi
I'm trying to run a matlab application from within a perl script (unix OS).
I tried system(), exec, and fork with no sucess -
It does open the application but "waits" for it to finish.
Even adding '&' to the system command doesn't help -
Running without the '&' run the matlab - but doesn't continue with my application, with the '&' runs a weird command line > which tells me there's an error running the matlab...
Thanks.
