if is possible to cancel a process if matlab take too much time to perfom the process?

I have a for loop to analyse data,

 for i=:length(data)
     task(data(i));
 end

but for example, if data has a length of 10,000 sometimes it got stuck at i=100 for more than one day. I cannot modify the function "task" therefore, I would like to know if there is a tool that stops the process of task at moment i=100 after a certain amount of time (let's say 90 min) so it can continues at i=101

Thanks

Cheers!
