I run Matlab simulations that sometimes take weeks to finish and, when Windows restarts due to an auto update, I lose all my work so I really need a way to stop auto restarts from interrupting my Matlab simulation.
Windows has an API that enables a process that has a window to block a system shutdown indefinitely until the user manually chooses what to do next. Applications like Matlab receive shutdown notifications through the WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages.
How can I use this to stop my simulations from shutting down and trashing all my work?
Sometimes my sims are straightforward and easy to start up again where I left off but often they are very complex simulations with lots of complex states using vast amounts of memory that it would be very difficult to get back to without running from the start again.I run Matlab simulations that sometimes take weeks to finish and, when Windows restarts due to an auto update, I lose all my work so I really need a way to stop auto restarts from interrupting my Matlab simulation.
