This has been reported earlier as bug #45654. In there it's about using the edit command with emacs as external editor, but it's the same underlying issue.

typo, meant to say: "You have now launched emacs as a background process."

In ocatve-cli, C-c kills a previously backgrounded async process:

version ## 4.2.1
cmd = "/usr/bin/emacs &"
system(cmd, false, "async")

You have now launched emacs as in the background.

now, do some unrelated octave work. Press C-c in this octave.

This C-c kills the background async emacs.

Adding nohup to cmd has no effect.
