running MATLAB in background

[R.C. Lien]

Hello,
    Let me apologize first if this is not a right group to post my
    question. I have tried to run MATLAB in the background using "at",
    but never worked. First, I changed my *.m file to startup.m
    , and then do "at now +1 minute /usr/local/bin/matlab".
    I got error message in my mail which reads "No file for $0.".

    Can anyone help me to do it properly? Thank you in advance.
