The problem is with OpenOffice itself and not with the cron job that runs the java application. under linux, In order for the java application to run the reports using OpenOffice and save them, openOffice has to be running on the server and the report will be displayed on the screen and then saved to a destination file and then the report will be closed (this is automated in the java app). This is all performed by running the reports on the screen . This means that OpenOffice requires that the server will logon all the time. Iam looking for a way that OpenOffice can run silently in the background and still be able to save the reports by the java application. Currently I run OpenOfffice in Linux as: soffice "-accept=socket,port=8100;urp". This opens OpenOffice blank document. If I close this document, OpenOffice process terminates. When the java app runs the reports using OpenOffice, the reports are displayed on the screen and then saved. Iam not sure if there is an option that allows OpenOffice to run silently in the background so that if the server that OpenOffice is not logged on, OpenOffice will still be running and the java app will generate the reports and save them.
