Hi there,
the linux shell script
%!/bin/bash
matlab -r "edit %1"
pretty much does what I want, but if matlab is already running, it will not open the file %1 in the editor of the running instance, but will start another instance of matlab.
How can I avoid starting another instance, if there's already one GUI running?

Hey @Leo I understand that you want to execute your script whitout opening other instance in using linux shell. I am soeey but currently matlab does not support this functionality however, you can try running the script in shell without opening gui by using :
$matlab -batch "edit %1"
