Under Solaris in tty mode, if you run matlab from the matlab locker and
interrupt a command with ^C, you get dropped back to your shell, but
the matlab instance does not die. It is not possible to use fg to get
back to it. This is presumably a wrapper script bug, because if you
launch matlab via the matlab_v6.5 locker instead of the matlab locker,
it works appropriately.
For example:
contents-vnder-pressvre$ add matlab
contents-vnder-pressvre$ matlab
[...]
>> pause
Interrupt
>>
contents-vnder-pressvre$ fg
bash: fg: current: no such job
However:
contents-vnder-pressvre$ add matlab_v6.5
contents-vnder-pressvre$ matlab
[...]
>> pause
Interrupt
>>
In both cases, I hit ^C after typing "pause". This is on a dialup, so
no DISPLAY was set.
