T = timer('Period',120,... %period
'ExecutionMode','fixedRate',... %{singleShot,fixedRate,fixedSpacing,fixedDelay}
'BusyMode','drop',... %{drop, error, queue}
'TasksToExecute',inf,...
'StartDelay',0,...
'TimerFcn',@(src,evt)disp('hi'),...
'StartFcn',[],...
'StopFcn',[],...
'ErrorFcn',[]);
start(T);
Someone posted the above code and it works fine when I replace disp with another function. How can I run a script instead of a function every 2 minutes?

I know it seems kind of obvious, but what happened when you just put the name of your script instead of "disp('hi')"? Did that not work?

Undefined function or variable 'q'.
