How to Remotely Monitor Matlab?
 

Hi, I currently work at a lab which uses Matlab to do calculations that take weeks. We're having problems monitoring Matlab outside of the lab. Specifically, what we would like would be to have Matlab run on a linux computer in the lab and be able to check up on it every so often. We've tried playing around with X server and are going to try VNC when there's time. If anybody has a solution to this it would help out a lot! Thanks.

If you are not doing visualization of the data remotely and just run matlab from a terminal interface, then you could make use of screen to maintain a virtual terminal that you can disconnect and reconnect from.

Otherwise you need to look at something like vnc.

You can run X based software remotely (eg using 'ssh -XC' is a secure and easy way to do this if you have an ssh connection), but the bandwidth can be a problem over an internet connection, which is why solutions like vnc are an improvement. There are also other solutions such as the dxpc compression of X connections.

So you want to install MAT LAB application on linux system. Have you got the installation sources for the MATLAB ? or you had only *.exe which used to install the MATLAB in windows.

If you have only *.exe available, then install using "wine", to run this application on linux.
