Is there an error in the installation instructions for MATLAB Distributed Computing Server 4.2 (R2009b)?

I went to MathWorks website and dowloaded the installation instructions for installing MDCS on Mac:
In Stage 2, I followed Step 5 - "Macintosh Platform" section on page 15.
Executing the commands shown in the instructions did not create the "/usr/sbin/mdce" link correctly under Point 2 of the above mentioned section.

There is an error in the documentation for MATLAB Distributed Computing Server 4.2 (R2009b). The documentation should read:
Create the following link if it does not already exist:
sudo ln -s matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin/mdce /usr/sbin/mdce
NOTE: Starting in R2019a the following name changes occurred:
  • MATLAB Distributed Computing Server was renamed to MATLAB Parallel Server
  • mdce_def was renamed to mjs_def
  • mdce binary was renamed to mjs
