How to run a linux command from within Windows Matlab when linux is on the other side of a partition?

Is it possible to issue a shell escape function to linux, when it is on the other side of a partition, from within Windows Matlab 2014a? The linux is openSUSE. It is a dual-boot situation. I want to send the command out from within a Guide GUI. It is not a simple command. It generates a multiple-threaded process on linux. No I do not want to buy another Matlab + compiler license for linux Matlab.

MATLAB licenses that are associated with a particular machine are valid for all operating systems running on that machine. You would not need another license to compile on the Linux partition if you already have the license to compile on the MS Windows partition.

Thank you for this answer. I didn't know that. It may be "the" answer but I will keep the question open for a while longer in case there are other ideas. My colleague has already pointed out (in person) that my original suggestion was dumb because the linux is inoperative when Windows is active. His thought was to send a command through ssh (might work if you have two separate laptops).
