Run matlab command from Windows cmd line in already open Matlab instance

I want to run different scripts from the command line (Over several hours), using

matlab -batch "..."

However this will always open a new matlab instance, I want it to run quicker and use an already open matlab instance, is this possible to specify with matlab -batch ?

Hi Christian,

I would not know how to prevent the matlab command from starting a new MATLAB session. Alternatives may be to:

• Move the entire process to within MATLAB. If this is what you need to do, you can also run operating system commands from within MATLAB using system.
• Set up an automation server or use the MATLAB Engine API for .NET to control MATLAB from outside. (https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/call-matlab-com-automation-server.html).

Best wishes,
