If you use octave on windows it depends on a few things. One possibility is 
that you edit the octave icon with which you start it (or the menu entry) and 
add the --silent there as a command option (I have no windows here now so I 
cannot describe it very detailed).
The second approach is to start a cmd.exe shell and run the command

octave --silent

if the octave command is not found your path variable does not contain the 
path where octave is installed so you either change your path variable or you 
enter the full path name in the dos box something similar to that

c:\octave3.2.4\bin\octave --silent

what this path really is on your machine depends on where you installed it.

If you are on linux open a terminal and type

octave --silent

For Mac OS I have no clue, never used it.
