What version of Octave are you using?  I think --persist is only
implemented in 2.9.x versions.  Earlier versions did not have this
feature.

For 2.1.x, if you can do the thing you want in a function, then you
can use the --funcall FUNCTION option.  Or, you can put the code you
want to run in your ~/.octaverc or .octaverc file, but that's a bit of
a kluge, so I would only recommend that if you really need to do this.
