Thanks for the follow-ups. It turns out that I tried the same experiment on another Vista installation (32bit this time around) and it run Matab scripts via ssh without a hitch. Officially the command-line should look like this:
matlab -nodesktop -r test_batch In practice the option "-nodesktop" was not necessary. Now, I am still not sure what the problem with the other system might be. Maybe Vista 64bit is complaining about something else, maybe some firewall issue, maybe a service configuration. I will only have physical access to this system on Monday for further testing. Of course, the real lesson here is that you shouldn't attempt this stuff on Windows, especially not on Vista. On Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 5:58 PM, Matthew B.
