Get Octave meta info with executable script with #! /// -qf

[rmt1]

Hellos.

On a Mac. My shellscript calls a makemap.m with arguments by:
octave --persist makemap.m $core $increment $place $latitude $longitude

Then in makemap.m I do the executable Octave script with first line:
#!/opt/local/bin/octave -qf

This webpage seems to say that not all Nix platforms will interpret the
"-qf" option the same way:
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Executable-Octave-Programs.html#Executable-Octave-Programs

My "symptom" is that when my script runs, I get all the headers of an
executing Octave script, as if I was on the Octave command line, whereas I
understand that the -qf tells the bash script to hide all that, so that the
user doesn't observe that it's an Octave script executing to produce the
output (which is through Aqua).

SO. Is that just how it is on a Mac - you have to watch all the Octave
headers as it executes?

Thanks!

Headers being:
