Force timeout for save()?

Hi,
I'm using save() to save a workspace variable on a network share. Sometimes, the share is temporarily unavailable. How can I instruct save to give up trying to save the file after a specified timeout?
Thanks!

Avoid doing the save() to a share. save() locally. copyfile() afterwards.
Is there a way at the Windows command level to tell if the share is available?

Try to open a file on the drive first, if you can't open it, then the drive is unavailable. Overall, Walter's approach is better and more stable, though and I would recommend following it.
fid = fopen(fullfile(thedrectory,'Arandomfile.txt'),'w');
if fid == -1
error('Couldn''t open')
end
