Linux -nosplash doesn't work

I want to run a MATLAB script in Linux over ssh, so would like to remove this text that I normally see when running from the command line (I assume ths is the "splash screen").

Both the following commands still give me the splash screen.

$ matlab -nodisplay -nosplash
$ matlab -nojvm -nosplash

I dont want to redirect the output as I may want to capture errors that the script throws up.

How can I disable my splash screen?

Hi @dormant,

For running a MATLAB script in a non-interactive workflow, consider using the -batch startup option, which prevents the MATLAB banner from being printed. The command would look like this:

matlab -nodisplay -batch "script"

To learn more about the -batch option, refer to the following documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlablinux.html#:~:text=Result-,%2Dbatch%20statement,-Execute%20MATLAB%20script

This approach is useful for executing scripts efficiently without additional output.
