HELP how to esc by the command system ?

Hi, I have a problem, when I use the command 'system()' to communicate with the 'line of command' I wont have a limited time for matlab to execute this function and if it is not finished at the end of this time I want to exit from the function 'system()'.

How can I do this?

The problem is that, when I use 'system()' Matlab is stopped on this command as long as it is finished, instead in this case, I want to interrupt this command before, and go head whit the script.

You can add "&" at the end of command to run it in backgroud.

system('mkdir aaa &')
