repeating a script every two minutes

T = timer('Period',120,... %period
        'ExecutionMode','fixedRate',... %{singleShot,fixedRate,fixedSpacing,fixedDelay}
        'BusyMode','drop',... %{drop, error, queue}
        'TasksToExecute',inf,...          
        'StartDelay',0,...
        'TimerFcn',@(src,evt)disp('hi'),...
        'StartFcn',[],...
        'StopFcn',[],...
        'ErrorFcn',[]);
start(T);

Someone posted the above code and it works fine when I replace disp with another function. How can I run a script instead of a function every 2 minutes?

I know it seems kind of obvious, but what happened when you just put the name of your script instead of "disp('hi')"? Did that not work?

nah it doesnt work. i have got two external variables q and a must be read by the function. i get the following error:

Undefined function or variable 'q'.
