How would Octave be able to know that it has been started in this way? As far as I know, the only information Octave gets is what is passed to it in argv. In this case, the kernel (or the shell) starts Octave with whatever follows the #!, plus the name of the script file. So I think you have to include the -q yourself. Now, if you mean you would prefer to have every noninteractive invocation of Octave omit the copyright notice, then that would be possible. I don't see the reason it is needed, since -q is available.
