That sounds like something that you might be able to put in your octaverc.  
Otherwise - if you are using octave-windows from matlinks - open the file in 
the octaveŠÜbin directory called 'start' .  It is a sh script that calles 
octave so you could add whatever you need after the ....... -e octave.  When 
you click on the octave icon it runs octave.bat which in turn runs start 
which then executes octave in a rxvt terminal.  So the third option would be 
to modify octave.bat and the start shell script to accept command line 
arguements (not to hard).

Hope this helps,
