Run an Octave script in the background?

[James Yang]

Hi, 

I wrote an Octave script, say run.m, and tried to run it in the
background (my OS is UNIX Solaris) by
        chmod +x run.m
        run.m&
But it showed
        [2] 8331
        [2]  + Suspended (tty output) run.m
However, it worked well if I didn't put ampersand. 

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and how to correct it? Thanks.
