My code came from roughly the same place :-) I've found the detaching problem, sorry if I wasn't being clear. 'soffice' is a shell-script which checks to see if the bin directory has an 'oosplash.bin', and if so it uses that one. It's got something to do with the speed of startup on a GUI - which is obviously irrelevant in batch mode. I've renamed 'oosplash.bin', and that got rid of the detaching. Some of the development versions of the soffice script appear to have an option 'no-oosplash'. >> I did some tests with running a few "soffice -invisible -display >> :1.0" >> in parallel - it doesn't seem to work, they all end up hanging.

I'll give it a go, but AFAICS, it does exactly what my code does. The headless option might work, I'll have to check that, but it's annoying that it takes twice as long. Assuming you're also running this stuff in batch, have you had any luck with using an already started soffice daemon? That's how I used to do it, but after 2.4, it stopped working. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
