[Eeglablist] AMICA on NSG - jobs don't exit and thus timeout

[John Johnson]

I'm running jobs on NSG using EEGLAB on Comet.
These jobs are created using a script, and worked correctly about a year 
ago.
Now, all my jobs are timing out, despite having finished (according to 
stdout.txt).
When I run the same scripts locally, Matlab runs all the code, then 
stops at the Matlab prompt, even after I've added an `exit(0)` to the 
script, as suggested by NSG tech support. If I then type `exit` at the 
`>>` prompt, the dataset is saved and all is well.

Testing a minimal example

```
disp('okay');
exit(0);
```
Works correctly.

Could this be because `runamica15.m` runs a binary to do the processing?

The jobs take about 30hrs to run, so troubleshooting is difficult.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Here is the job script being submitted to NSG:

```
     [ALLEEG EEG CURRENTSET ALLCOM] = eeglab;

     in_filename = 'p20_vi_nf_vf_preasr_kine.set';
     out_filename = 'p20_vi_nf_vf_preasr_kine_amica.set'

     EEG = pop_loadset('filename',in_filename);


     datfile = EEG.datfile;

     arglist = cell(1, 10);
     arglist{1} = 'outdir';
     arglist{2} = 'amicaout';
     arglist{3} = 'num_chans';
     arglist{4} = size(EEG.data, 1);
     arglist{5} = 'pcakeep';
     arglist{6} = size(EEG.data, 1);
     arglist{7} = 'max_threads';
     arglist{8} = 5;
     arglist{9} = 'num_models';
     arglist{10} = 5;

     if isfield(EEG,'datfile') && length(EEG.datfile) > 0
         disp('Found datfile');
         [W,S,mods] = runamica15(datfile,arglist{:});
     else
         disp('No datfile field found in EEG structure. Will write temp 
file.');
         [W,S,mods] = runamica15(EEG.data(:,:),arglist{:});
     end

     EEG.icaweights = W;
     EEG.icasphere = S(1:size(W,1),:);
     EEG.icawinv = mods.A(:,:,1);
     EEG.mods = mods;

     [ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET] = eeg_store( ALLEEG, EEG, 0 );
     EEG = eeg_checkset( EEG );
     EEG = pop_saveset( EEG, 'filename', out_filename);
     exit(0);
```

Thanks,
John
