Problem with running octave from windows command line

[George Kousiouris]

Hi,

I have written an octave script which takes some time to finish (about 
15 minutes)...When I run it from the octave console with the command:

script

it runs just fine.

But when I am trying to execute  it from the  windows command line  with 
the command:
octave script.m

then  octave is launched  but  exits  (without errors)  after 3-4 seconds.

When I tried a simpler script with the same command:
octave quickscript.m

from windows command line, which just opened a file and read the 
content, it  executed  without problems.

Does anyone have any idea how this can be handled?

Thanks in advance,
George
