Time limit on .exe file execution

I have a function that executes an exe file and enters a txt file of inputs after the file executes. This function is called in a loop by another script. Occasionally, the exe file will get hung and will not terminate on its own. Is there a way for me to implement a time limit on the exe before killing the process?

this is how I currently execute the file, before I discovered the error.

cmd = 'program.exe < program_input.txt';

[status,result] = system(cmd);

Hi Peter,

Check out how to use Eventually (Poll for value to asynchronously satisfy constraint - MATLAB - MathWorks India)

This will allow you to set up a timeout condition
