Hi Mit Dir, I would suggest sending the command with a forking modifier modifier, i.e. &, after the command. Hopefully, you don't need to wait for the command to finish, but if you do, hopefully you can check for a file to be written. Alternatively, you can hack something together like I did, where I run a script on the server that outputs a file when it's done. I have a loop that checks for that file, but in the meantime, you can run other things (local or remote).

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with byobu. This link implies you need to run byobu with the "-t" option as the ssh2 package does not provide a tty terminal.

Does this solve your problem?

Hi Roel,

It is difficult, but I don't think impossible to connect through two machines.

If you're able to run Matlab on the first machine, you should be able to use this package to ssh into the second machine.

Otherwise, you can use public key authentication on the first machine and a script to automatically connect and execute your function.

This hacks are needed because the SSH package for matlab can only execute commands and cannot run interactively.

Hi David, thanks for a great package. I am playing with the functionality for your programm and have therefore one question.
When I send a command to an external server to start a modell calculation, matlab is suppressed into a "busy" modus and waits for the answer of the server. Is there any option avpoid this issue? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm enjoying playing around with this function but I can't get it to do what I want. I was wondering if maybe I should be using an alternative. I've developed a series of scripts to analyse some model outputs and the way the script works is by looking at which directory is the newest and then taking information from the filenames to determine automatically quite a lot of information about the runs I've done. However, I'm now doing some runs on a computer other than my own that I only have remote access to, and, which, doesn't have matlab.

So, is there anyway I can get matlab to see the directories on the remote machine as if it was a local directory so that I can use functions such as dir, textscan and cell2mat to extract the model information from the remote directories?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
