Hi Jay, for running linux command in background from matlab, you can use system("your_command &") , & after the command ensure that's the command runs on background.

An oddity of system() is that using the & this way is defined to be handled by system() itself, rather than just being passed as a command to the shell
Thank you so much
getenv('SHELL')
ans = '/bin/bash'
system('echo $0')
/bin/bash
ans = 0
So at least on MATLAB Online, any command you send to system() is processed as a bash command, and can use full syntax for I/O redirection and any multiple-process support.
