Hello all I am using matlab via server, so I quit MatLab several times before remembering to save. Is there is any way to fore MatLab to save the file code every several minutes. Or method to enforce MatLab to ask for save before quit .

What exactly is "the file code"? Do you mean the contents of the base workspace, the files opened in the editor or some specific files?

You should take a look at the help for quit and exit - there it is described that if you have a .m-file finish.m it will run before quiting - so in such a file you can have automatic save commands or something even more elaborate. You might also be interested in the diary function - I start every matlab session with:
diary(fullfile('/home','bjorn','MatlabRuns',[datestr(clock,30) '.txt']))
That way all my commandline activity is saved away. (Got this trick from someone else...)
