Infinite error loop when using MATLAB with nohup

If you run MATLAB scripts remotely with ssh and nohup (to keep it running in the background), you may find MATLAB entering an infinite loop of the following errors when your script or function finishes:

Warning: Error reading character from command line

and

Bad file descriptor

This has nothing to do with your code, just that you will have to add "</dev/null" before the "&" symbol which is causing the error. For example, you can run a function like this:

nohup matlab -nodisplay -r "myfunc_in_current_dir('params')" > ./mylog.txt </dev/null &

Also, people suggested using the "-nojvm" option. If you are plotting in your script then this option should be avoided.
