On windows when right clicking in the file browser pane you can select Open in file browser to open the current folder in windows explorer. On linux you will simply get an error message stating that this action is not supported on this operating system (as of MATLAB 2016a).
When working on several different projects in MATLAB changing from one project folder to another can be a hassle. Some projects are in a shared dropbox folders, others are in my main MATLAB directory. Most powerful text editors offer a way of quickly changing project directories without having to navigate the folder structure by hand.
Pushbullet is a service that allows you to push notifications to your devices. We will be using it to send us a notification any-time somebody successfully connects to our server with ssh.
The cleanest way to run a script when on ssh logins is through PAM. PAM or "Pluggable Authentication Module" is a library called by all the authentication related functions in Linux that provides a way to hook into the authentication process.
The standard way of exporting figures from MATLAB to LaTeX is to use the builtin print command to export the figure to an eps file using:
print -depsc $filename
Unfortunately figures exported this way generally do not look like the original MATLAB figures. The aspect ratio is different and the fonts are too small. This can be overcome by tweaking the paper size, the font size and the line thickness but the process is fiddly and resulting eps files are hard to use since alternative TeX compilers like XeTeX and LuaTeX do not support eps files out of the box.
