I saw somewhere in Labview reference to a mathscript editor which happens to open *.m files. I haven't tried it to open any old Matlab script files that I have yet but I'm thinking it might be able to script some math functions similar to what Matlab can do.
Also just for a bit of information. The Taskkill and Tasklist commands only work in Windows XP. In Windows 2000, I think the command would only be "kill" and not "taskkill". I'm not sure if there is an equivelent for tasklist.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the case.
