How do I run MATWEB from the MATLAB command line?

How do I run MATWEB from the MATLAB command line and pass parameters to it which it can then pass on to the matlabserver?

How do I specify my own command line parameters without resorting to hardcoding them in the conf file?

For example, the matweb.conf file looks as follows:

[webmagic]

mlserver=localhost

mldir=c:/progra~1/services/apache~1/apache/www/matlab/icons

msize=3

When I run the following code from the command line I get the correct output.

c:>matweb mlmfile=webmagic

However when I remove the msize=3 line from the conf file and do the following, MATWEB complains that msize is not defined.

c:>matweb mlmfile=webmagic msize=3

It is not possible to specify parameters for the MATWEB.CONF file from the MATLAB command line.

One way to call MATWEB from the MATLAB command line is by calling MATWEB with a MATLAB structure as an argument. For the webmagic file, we need to pass MATWEB a structure with both the mlmfile and msize fields.

For example:

>> instruct.mlmfile='webmagic'

instruct = 

      mlmfile: 'webmagic'

>> instruct.msize='3'

instruct = 

      mlmfile: 'webmagic'

        msize: '3'

>> matweb(instruct)
