 /bin/bash: /home/scripts/Something.sh: Permission denied

If you're running this from Windows (not mac or linux) I got this to work by doing:

system('C:\Apps\Git\git-bash.exe Something.sh')

The above assumes that Something.sh is in your current directory within MATLAB. You could provide an absolute path like:

system('C:\Apps\Git\git-bash.exe C:\Users\UserName\home\scripts\Something.sh')
