How can I pass input parameters to a MATLAB script from a Bash shell in Unix with arguments without opening MATLAB shell?

I wanted to run something like:

matlab -no_gui -no_matlab_shell my_matlab_script.m param1 param2 param3 ...

the idea was that I wanted MATLAB to print to STDOUT or somewhere the outputs of my program without opening the user interfaces. However, I had not have luck.

What I did was to get a similar behaviour was:

    -bash-4.1$ matlab -r -nojvm -nodisplay -nosplash "run mat_script.m"

and I got out:

                                                                                                             < M A T L A B (R) >
                                                                                                   Copyright 1984-2015 The MathWorks, Inc.

Error using run (line 28)
Not enough input arguments.

which is obviously not what I wanted because

1. It didn't run my script.
2. It opened matlab shell.

So I wasn't sure why that happened. I read the docs and it says -r runs the command given to MATLAB so I a not sure why it didn't run it. However, once in the session it did obey me once I wrote:

run mat_script.m

so I am not sure whats going on.

matlab -r -nojvm -nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash "try; mat_script; catch; end; quit;"

thats not fully in the format that I requested because its unclear how to pass command line arguments.

matlab -r -nojvm -nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash "try; my_matlab_script param1 param2 param3 ...; catch; end; quit;"

Caution: you cannot pass parameters to a script, only to a function.
