[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53355] No option (since --gui option change) leaves daemon-like processes when run as background &

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #53355 (project octave):

I think there are two bugs here.

When I run "octave --no-gui" I get one set of behavior, both with 4.0 or 4.2,
and with the default branch. This seems to put Octave in the background, and
when I press Enter a few times in my shell, bash tells me that it has been put
in the Stopped state. When I "fg" it, the Octave prompt is shown, but echo has
been disabled, maybe other weird terminal initialization things.

The second bug is when I run "octave" with the new default behavior of not
running the GUI. In this mode, I get what Dan is seeing, that Octave and the
shell seem to be sharing the terminal. Characters are randomly sent to either
bash or Octave. With a few tries, I can get "fg" to work, and get back to the
state of what I describe in the first paragraph.
