title: Matlab script - running an external command (nonblocking)
body: <p>From a script in Matlab, I need to run an external command. Normally this is done with <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/system.html" rel="nofollow">system</a>, but script execution blocks until the command completes. Is there a way to execute a command from a script without blocking execution?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: OS is Windows Server.</p>
