| No didnt work. same problem.

Are you sure?  Even if you use (Bourne shell syntax):

  shell> octave -q  test_run_1.m < /dev/null > test_run_1.out 2>&1 &

?

What terminal settings do you have (try running stty -a)?  In
particular, is tostop set?  What happens if you unset it (stty -tostop)?

Are you sure your script produces no output?

This is all the help I can offer.  If these fixes don't help, can
someone please try to debug it?
