How to restart PC and then automatically run a vbs script generated by Matlab before restart?

I have a matlab script that if certain requirment was meet, it will generate a *.vbs script to a folder.

Next matlab will run "system('shutdown /r')" to restart my PC.

However, I want my PC aotomatically run specifically that generated vbs file.

How can I do it?(By windows task scheduler or other possible ways)

This is not really a matlab question since you'll have to delegate to the OS for that.

You could use schtasks, or use COM to talk directly to the task scheduler. A vbsript example is here.

There is the timer object, but I'd probably use the capability of your operating system to schedule a particular operation to run MATLAB with the -r option at a particular time. See for example the Wikipedia pages on Windows Task Scheduler and cron for more information.

Possibly:

system(sprintf('cscript.exe "%s"', 'c:\full\path\to\your\script');

Considering that vbs scripts tend to just contain calls to activex (COM) objects which matlab can also do, you may as well rewrite the script in matlab. It's more maintainable in the long run.
