MATLAB: Task scheduling for Matlab

task scheduler

I realize this may not be exactly related to Matlab, and I've read all the other posts but have not had any success. I am trying to run a Matlab script with Task Scheduler on Windows 7. My Task scheduler command is:
cd C:\Radar_code\ matlab -r "radarprocessing.m; pause(10); exit"
and the error I keep getting in Task Scheduler is:
The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)
I've tried lots of different things but it hasn't worked yet. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
this command seems pretty strange. I would rather expect that you select the MATLAB.exe as program to run in the TaskScheduler and as optional arguments use
-r "cd('C:\Radar_code\');radarprocessing.m; pause(10);exit"
Or set the start in folder to C:\Radar_code.

  1. Click on the browse button and select the matlab.exe
  2. In the "Add arguments" use -r "radarprocessing.m; pause(10);exit"
  3. As "Start in" set the C:\Radar_code folder
