Can you run the exact same job manually in a shell? Have you written it as a
shell script in proper 'Bang' notation? Ie start the file with (assuming
this your path to the octave binary)
        #!/usr/local/bin/octave -q
and chmod 755 it. Worked wonders for me under SunOS 4 in a previous
life^H^H^Hjob.

Beste Gr"usse,
