BSD/Linux Host Information and matlabpoolPlus

Get information about the host on which the Matlab instance is running. Also provides matlabpoolPlus

Get information about the host on which the Matlab instance is running.

This package consists of the following commands:

Basic:
getpid: get the Matlab process ID
gethostname: get the hostname of the machine Matlab is running
getuname: returns the system name, node name, system release, system
version, and the machine's hardware platform
getnumprocessors: returns the number of available (local) processors,
i.e. the number of (virtual) CPUs

Additional:
matlabpoolPlus: wrapper around matlabpool that allows to base the number
of created workers on the available number of processors

Please note that this package is not intended to run under Windows. I use
it for automated status reports of long running jobs that I distribute on a
cluster of Linux machines. It should run under any BSD/Unix-style OS.
