octave scripts don't go to background

[Gerd Bürger]

Hi,

If I send octave to the background from an interactive shell, it
works. But using the script, e.g.,

------------ def.m ----------
#! /usr/bin/octave
quit
------------ def.m ----------

prompt> def.m &

doesn't work. octave says

suspended (tty output)  def.m


What's wrong?
