Re: octave scripts don't go to background

[Alan Painter]

Can I suggest the csh (csh)?

% octave def.m arg1 arg2 ... < /dev/null >& octave_out &

Or the bourne shell (sh)?

$ octave def.m arg1 arg2 ... < /dev/null > octave_out 2>&1 &

Sorry if you've already tried these.

but in case you want command line arguments you have to do

octave def.m arg1 arg2 ... >& octave_out &
