I haven't used OOo this way before but, if it helps, I checked the
command line arguments in OOo 2.0.2 Help and they appear valid. As
referred in that Help section, I then looked in the 2.0 dev guide
(http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.xhtml)
Section 3.3.1 "UNO Interprocess Connections", under "Starting
OpenOffice.org in Listening Mode", and again confirmed that nothing
appears to have changed. There is a note at the end of that sub-section
re versions prior to OOo 1.1.0 though, which should not apply here as
you said you've been running 1.1.x.
On Linux (Fedora Core 3) I ran the following command line:
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
"-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" -headless
I then see:
netstat -a | grep 2002
tcp 0 0 desk.home:2002
*:* LISTEN
Also, "telnet localhost 2002" does not return an error and remains
"connected" until I escape from it by typing Ctrl+]. So I assume that
soffice is listening and accepting connections. If I type very short
random lines of text the connection stays up, but if I type some long
random line, I get a "Connection closed by foreign host" message. I then
have to kill both the soffice and soffice.bin processes. This again
suggests that OOo is accepting connections.
If I have an already running instance of OOo, the command line above
returns immediately but appears to switch the running instance into
listening mode.
Hope this helps.

I recall seeing that much has changed in this area between 1.1.x and
2.x. Please see http://api.openoffice.org/ as a start for info on this
subject.
