If you begin your .m file with
        #!/usr/bin/octave -q

(or wherever your Octave lives, if not /usr/bin), and set the  
executable permission bit, then you can run the file from the command  
line.  This is more like shell script or a perl script than a  
standalone executable.

Writing an "occ" would be a big project.
