What were you trying to do?
Use MATLAB responsibly on a dialup to work on a problem set.
What's wrong:
If I 'add matlab; matlab -tty -nosplash -nojvm', MATLAB appears
to come up fine. If I start a second ssh session to the same
dialup and run 'top', though, the matlab process is eating
30-50% of a CPU's cycles, while it's doing nothing user-visible.
(That is, I start 'matlab', and just let it sit.) If I don't
use -tty, it spawns an xterm, which I find aesthetically
displeasing, but it doesn't use cycles idling.
What should have happened:
Nothing.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
'()
