This bug report was previously closed, but got reopened because of the savannah hack in November. I'm closing it and adding the discussion for this bug below

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #31593 (project octave):

I think maybe the reporter wanted something similar to the '-e' argument for
perl. Octave could take arguments from command line, make the calculations and
then exit without ever starting an octave shell. For example, in perl one can
do:

$ perl -e 'print "Hello world!n";'
hello world!

I think the requested feature was something like that.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #31593 (project octave):

octave -q --eval 'prinf("Hello Worldn")'

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #31593 (project octave):

That's handy, I didn't knew something like this was already implemented.
Together with an alias can be very useful.

Also, I flagged the reporter comment as spam by accident and can't find a way
to unflag it. Sorry

Update of bug #31593 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #6:

I'm closing this report because if the --eval option is what the OP was
looking for then there isn't a problem to fix. And if it was a request to
have a single program understand Octave and sh commands, then I don't think
that is feasible.

If you mean that you want to have a single program understand both Octave programs and Unix shell scripts, then I don't think that is possible since I'm pretty sure the syntax of each is incompatible with the other.

Feature Request: I would like to see some type of integration between Octave and terminal. For example, when I open terminal (e.g. gnome-terminal or xterm), I would like to use Octave directly in terminal, in addition to run programs, move system files/folders, ssh, etc. May times I catch myself trying to do math in terminal and having to open Octave. It would be neat to see a program to integrate Octave into terminal.
