Derek, 1) pkill -u $username openoffice
2) Because it is beta? :-)
3) See #2... but seriously, the Oo list would be a better place to ask about bleeding-edge releases.

Hi all,
One of my clients has OpenOffice.org beta 1.9.79 loaded. It starts off running perfectly but as the user (there is only one using this version) closes his files the processes don't seem to be closed. ps ax will list his files in use even when the desktop is clear. The other users have version 1.1.4 and don't have a problem. The LTSP server is quite capable of the load.
Over time these unused files lock him up completely.
I can get a list of the files by "ps ax | grep username | grep openoffice" which gives me all the processes which can then be killed and life resumes.
1) can anyone do me a rush script which will kill these PIDs? (I have to do it by stages - getting the list from ps ax, adding "kill " before each PID then deleting the rest of the line and then running the kill script)? I'm not really up on SED and AWK.
2) any ideas why this is happening and what I can do about it?
3) OOo Beta isn't wonderfully stable and it keeps trying to recover lost files even if there are no lost files to recover. I have turned off autosaving recovery information but that isn't ideal. Any ideas about this?
This is really urgent because I am in France, customer is in the UK and I keep having to open the VPN to cure him - 3 or 4 times a day!
