Running Matlab script as batch job in linux

Question

I'm trying to submit a Matlab script to a Linux server as a batch job but am not having any success so far. I'm very new to Linux so not sure what I'm missing, but I've tried every permutation I can think of.

#!/bin/bash
#
#PBS -l walltime=1:00:00
#PBS -j oe
#PBS -o testscript.log
#
matlab -nodisplay -nojvm -nodesktop -nosplash
run testscript.m

I've also tried these lines with the same header:

export SCRIPT="/panfs/panasas01/phph/testscript.m"
matlab -nodisplay -nojvm -nodesktop -nosplash
$SCRIPT

And everything in between: with and without the run command, .m, quotes, filepath etc. The log file shows that Matlab opens but then can't find the command.

I've also tried opening matlab and typing:

batch('testscript')

I'm not sure if this command does what I'm looking for, but regardless it results in lots of error messages about not being able to find the variable argsin , along with

'Error using batch (line 172) Assignment has more non-singleton rhs dimensions than non-singleton subscripts'

before the first line (simply a = 10) has even executed. The script runs with no problems otherwise.

Can anyone help?
