[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61207] Octave in interactive batch mode does not wait for completion

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #61207 (project octave):

Octave is primarily developed for POSIX platforms.

The .vbs and .bat files are meant to make it easier for a non-expert user to
start Octave on Windows. These scripts serve as wrappers that set up the
environment correctly for most of the use cases and then start Octave.
Unfortunately, these wrappers break some of the switches that you can use when
calling Octave directly.

If you want to use "custom" command line switches on Windows and are not
afraid to use a command line shell, you could use the "cmdshell.bat" script
that you can find in Octave's installation folder.
It sets up the necessary environment variables and starts a bash.
At that bash, you should be able to run Octave with any of the switches that
are shown by `octave-gui --help`.

Let us know if some of those switches don't work in that case.

It should also be possible to take that .bat file as a template and call
octave directly instead of starting the bash. But tbh, I haven't tested that
yet.
