Can you simulate multiple instances of matlab without actually opening matab multiple times?

Is this Possible? I know you can open multiple instances of matlab and run separate independent scripts on each, but is there an easy way to do this from a single instance of matlab?

Ideally I'd like to do something like this:

 (Have a list of scripts or functions you would like to run)

 while cpu utilization is under X% && ram usage under Y%

      Initiate (independently) running the next script/function on the list

Is something like this possible? It would be great to set up a bunch of things to run and then be able to just let it be for several hours on end.

Thanks!

No, there is no easy way of doing that.

If you have the Parallel Computing Toolkit, you could consider batch() or parfeval()
