octave in bg ????

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi,
whenever I try to run octve in the background, octave starts sleeping
and
does not continue:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
shell> octave -q  test_run_1.m &
[1] 491322
[1]  + Suspended (tty output)        octave -q test_run_1.m
shell> ps
        PID TTY     TIME CMD
     479611 ttyq17  0:00 octave-2. 
     492557 ttyq17  0:00 ps 
     477309 ttyq17  0:02 tcsh 

shell> uname -a
IRIX64 caek56 6.5 04191226 IP28
shell> octave --version
GNU Octave, version 2.0.14 (mips-sgi-irix6.4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Why can octave not run in the background?
any ideas how to run octave in background?

thanks daniel
