I'm running an executable in the following order, so i could close it after a certain time is passed:
system([exe_name ' &']);% Open executable
if time>time_th
system(['TASKKILL -f -im "' exe_name '"']); % Close executable
When i use the kill command, the executable stops running, but the cmd window stays open for unknowen reason.
I don't want to "kill" cmd windows because we may have another necessery cmd window open in the background.
How can I kill the executable while making sure that I'm closing also the cmd window?

You could try to start the executable through Java instead of opening a CMD window:
runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
process = runtime.exec('exename'); % non-blocking
...
process.destroy();
% Might be useful:
% rc = process.waitFor(); % block Matlab until external program ends
% rc = process.exitValue(); % fetch an ended process' return code
