You can start two different MATLAB sessions.

Or if you have the parallel processing toolbox, there are various facilities that can be used.

thanks Walter, starting two matlab session is a good idea, is it possible to run them at the same time(the two m files), i mean trigger them at a certain time?

[Walter Roberson]

You would have some issues in synchronizing the two operations.

If you are using MS Windows, my understanding is that there is a Task Scheduler.

If you are using Linux or OS-X, use cron

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

the m file will be run on matlab environement; how is it possible to use windows Task Scheduler?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

i think there is a way in matlab to synchronize. if i want to run the two file at 19:30:00

   while datenum(datestr(clock,'HH:MM:SS'))<datenum('19:30:00')
   end  
   file1 

anyway thanks for your help
