Running Octave in the background

[Bob Bumala]

Hi there,
        I've been using the Matlab Engine to display real time data for our
experiment "GLAST".  http://glast/ .   A real time stream of packets is
archived by a set of programs called SETS, and the packet is placed in
shared memory, where a separate C program extracts the data and sends it
to the Matlab engine for display.
        Is it possible to do this with Octave?
        How do I invoke the engine?
        How do I pass the parameters?
Thanks,
Bob.
