I connected to a linux server with PuTTY and start a screen session, and start matlab with:
matlab -nodesktop
Then, I run my matlab code as usual. The code will run for hours. So to test whether screen works, I start another PuTTY session and run top. Then, I close PuTTY session with still-running Matlab (top shows Matlab at 100% CPU usage) in screen. To my surprise, my Matlab process vanished after I close the aforementioned session. I've tried this a few times, and it seems the same thing happened.
screen -ls
shows that my screens are there but detached. top also shows that my matlab is not there.
What might be the possible cause of this? Doesn't screen normally should keep on running even I terminate my PuTTY session?
What do you see when you resume the screen session? Does Matlab give any errors? – None – 2012-11-18T16:37:21.900
When I resume the session, I see that I got back to bash, not Matlab. Moreover, bash does not show my input anymore, just like when I am typing password while logging in. But I can still execute command around. – Karl – 2012-11-19T05:38:46.847
