MATLAB: Does Control+C not break out of an infinite loop on UNIX

Question

I am trying to run the following code and then break out of it with CTRL-C or CTRL-Break

   n=0;
while n < 1
       n
   end

I have sent the process a kill -2 signal and that did work.

Answer 1

As a workaround, please look up the process ID of MATLAB, and send it an interrupt using the following command:

 kill -2 $pid

This is identical to ^C.
