#!/bin/bash
#
# Script Name : msub
# Purpose : to submit matlab batch job with command line input
# This script generates a temp script file called "msub.userid"
# It is then used as the batch script for use with qsub
# to perform matlab work in batch
# msub takes two or three command line inputs :
# 1) m-file with suffix .m
# 2) an outputfile name to which matlab output goes
# 3) Optionally, anything you would like to pass on to qsub
#    (make sure to enclose them with double quotes)
# Example:
# cootie % msub example.m outputfile "-l walltime=00:15:00"
