It seems to me that, yes, octave will keep running the original script.
On a side note, I've been having to do similar stuff (long, remote
runs) and I've found the screen command to be much more flexible than
nohup.
Step 1: log in to remote octave-crunching computer
Step 2: type "screen" at the command line, hit enter
Step 3: do your business (eg, get octave running)
Step 4: close terminal
Step 5: beer, beach, etc
Step 6: after a few hours check in on simulation
6a: log in to said computer
6b: type "screen -r"
You will see a list of active screens, something like:
There are several suitable screens on:
17712.pts-3.prospect
17459.pts-3.prospect
17857.pts-3.prospect
meaning there are 3 such screens doing stuff.
6c: type "screen -r 17712.pts-3.prospect" to reconnect to the
first one on the list, etc
This can be done as many times as you like. Sooooo cool.
