Hi, 

That doesn't seem to work from the shell :
with the simple shebang line 

  #!/usr/local/bin/octave -qf

I get the following error : 
  ./doit.oct: line 3: 1: command not found

while, when run from BBedit, it works, although not honoring the -q option.

whereas 

  octave -q doit.oct 

works fine,

and the following shebang works too :

#!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/octave -qf
