I want to be able to run a script from the OS command line, but stay
inside the interpreter after the script finishes executing. In other
words, if I type:
Unix Shell> octave script.m
...I do NOT want Octave to exit upon completion of script.m.
I have been told that this is the default behavior in M**lab, which
requires an explicit "exit" statement at the end of the script if one
wants to return to the OS command prompt. I suspect that this is
related to Octave's hash-bang (#!) functionality, which I believe to be
one of its nicer features. Is there, however, a way to force Octave to
stay in the interpreter after running a script? At first, I thought
that the "-i" option would do this, but after initial tests, it is clear
to me that I don't really understand what this option is for.
