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.
This will seem obvious but, one more possibility that I found just a few
minutes ago when trying the above as a new user - make sure that the
account (root?) under which you are starting OOo 2.0 in this mode has
also run OOo 2.0 normally at some point previously, so that the user
config directory tree has been initialised. It should be evident that
this has not been done because the commandline above will return after a
short while. However, it might easily be missed when backgrounding and
daemonising the process using command line that you quoted eariler:
daemon /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
"-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp" -display :1 &
And something I didn't expect - running with the "-headless" option
still requires a connection to an X server (display).
