Running MATLAB from Mac Automator

When I run MATLAB from a Terminal window with this command
/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/matlab
it opens MATLAB normally.
I have been experimenting with Automator to open MATLAB as part of a workflow. Inside Automator, I choose "Run Shell Script" and put the above command inside the script.
I then run the application. It definitely opens MATLAB -- the splash screen appears -- but then it shuts down immediately, presumably because the script is completing and exiting. Anyone know how to get MATLAB to stay open in this situation?
