I had looked at the fop script I had and saw it there. I wasn't sure that I had made the change or not. In any case, if it's helpful, it should look like:

fop_exec_command="exec \"$JAVACMD\" ${ENDORSED} -Djava.awt.headless=true $LOGCHOICE $LOGLEVEL -classpath \"$LOCALCLASSPATH\" $FOP_OPTS org.apache.fop.cli.Main $fop_exec_args"

(I'm using 0.93, so it might be slightly different).

That should avoid any icons or desktop interaction.

Actually that probably won't do what you want. Adding -Djava.awt.headless=true to the vm arguments in the fop script probably will work.

Use 'nice' to run it. Alter the script so that the fop execution looks like:

nice /Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf

You can check the man page for nice for more info.

This is not a huge matter. More on the line of an annoyance. And I may need to take this question to a java list rather than this list. If so, just point me in the right direction.

At any rate, I have an XSLT stylesheet that produces 50+ separate fo documents. I then run the shell script below to batch produce the pdf documents:

#!/bin/sh
for foo in *.fo
do
state=`basename $foo .fo`
/Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf
done

When I run this script on my Mac (OS X 10.4.11, java version "1.5.0_13" fop-0.94), org.apache.fop.cli.main takes control of the desktop, stopping whatever it is I am doing for about 5 seconds. I gain control again for about 5 seconds until fop pumps out another pdf document. I basically have to step away from the computer for the 8 minutes that the batch process takes. Adding & and wait to the main line of the script does not seem to work:

/Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf &
wait
done

The first script above on Ubuntu linux runs in the background without interrupting other running process.

Any simple solutions?
