"Enclose the statement in double quotation marks ("statement"). Use
semicolons or commas to separate multiple statements"

So "cd('/home/jm3364/matlab'); main" would work as the value for the -r
startup option.

Or create a startup.m file in the directory in which you start MATLAB and
have that script CD to the appropriate directory and call main.
