How to run a Matlab Script via Putty?

I try to SSH to my desktop from the laptop and then try to run a Matlab script on the desktop. I try to use $matlab -nospalsh onodesktop - script_name command but nothing is run in the remote machine. It does not show me an error too. What would be the reason for this?

matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -r "try; script_name; catch; end; quit"

You might need the -nojvm option as well.

Note: matlab might not happen to be on your shell path, so you might need to give the path to the executable, such as

/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app/bin/matlab

Alternately if you are doing this a lot, you might want to put an alias in your ~/.bash_profile such as

alias matlab="/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app/bin/matlab -nosplash -nojvm -nodesktop"

after which the ssh sessions could use

matlab -r  "try; script_name; catch; end; quit"

Thank you Walter. I added the details to bash_profile as mentioned and t works now.
