I'm trying to run soffice in a cron job script where it executes in -headless mode...

e.g.

soffice -headless macro://document/lib.module.macro file:///path/to/document

... but it dies with an error...

Error : staroffice,v8.9 does not run without Openwindows

If I set a valid DISPLAY var within the shell running the cron job it will work.

Why does it need a valid DISPLAY var set if it's running in -headless mode?

Is there something I can do in the shell script which runs the soffice command to setup a valid DISPLAY var? I cannot just give it a made up DISPLAY value unless I know that something is running for that DISPLAY.

Thanks,
Craig
