<para>The following is needed to solve a problem with &matlab;
not exiting correctly.</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>Create a file
<filename>$MATLAB/toolbox/local/finish.m</filename>, and
in it put the single line:</para>
<programlisting>! $MATLAB/bin/finish.sh</programlisting>
<note><para>The <literal>$MATLAB</literal> is
literal.</para></note>
<tip>
<para>In the same directory, you will find the files
<filename>finishsav.m</filename> and
<filename>finishdlg.m</filename>, which let you save
your workspace before quitting. If you use either of
them, insert the line above immediately after the
<literal>save</literal> command.</para></tip>
</step>
<step>
<para>Create a file
<filename>$MATLAB/bin/finish.sh</filename>, which will
contain the following:</para>
<programlisting>#!/usr/compat/linux/bin/sh
(sleep 5; killall -1 matlab_helper) &
exit 0</programlisting>
</step>
<step>
<para>Make the file executable:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>chmod +x $MATLAB/bin/finish.sh</userinput></screen>
