Running a default script in MATLAB whenever an m file execution stops

Question

Is it possible to have matlab run a default script whenever the execution of an m file stops? And I do not mean the finish.m that runs when quitting matlab, I want to be able to run a script even when I break the execution of a running script by pressing ctrl+C. Would that be possible?

Answer 1

You could use onCleanup. This popped into my head when you mentioned Ctrl+C action.

Here is the documentation: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/oncleanup.html
