But it does not:
octave:1> graphics_toolkit gnuplot
octave:2> gnuplot_binary ("somejunk")
octave:3> plot(1:3)
sh: somejunk: command not found
error: popen2: popen2 (child): unable to start process -- No such file or directory
error: called from
__gnuplot_open_stream__ at line 30 column 40
__gnuplot_drawnow__ at line 72 column 19
error: 'unset' undefined near line 1 column 1
warning: broken pipe
At this moment I can kill octave only with kill -9. Ctrl-C gets ignored.
Dmitri.
