OK, matlab for windows has several for executing windows commands, the
simplest to discuss is
 
system(string)
  
This will pass the contents of the string to windows as a command to
execute.
 
The string could look like
 
'C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c custom-command'
 
which will log into a cygwin bash shell to excecute custom-command and then
exit.
 
So its perfectly possible.  
 
Experiment a little; you will find that it does in fact work.
