title: How to abort a running program in MATLAB?
body: <p>Sometimes after calling a function (which takes some 30 odd minutes to finish), you realize that you did something wrong and want to <strong>stop the program</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>How do you do that in MATLAB?</p>
  
  <p>What I do is <strong>shutdown MATLAB completely and restart</strong>. I think there would be a way to <strong>abort the execution</strong> of the function instead.</p>
  
  <p>Anybody know what that is?</p>
