Running soffice -invisible "-accept..." - process

Hello,

I run on Unix Solaris machine.

I would like to convert .doc files to .txt files, as follows:

1. soffice -invisible "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" &

2. run the "DocumentConverter" java example

As a result the files are converted OK, but the soffice process is ended.

Why, Is it a bug?, is there a work around solution?

Hi,
i am not really sure because I didn´t tried out the program. But I suppose that the reason is in line 104: the document is disposed:

// Closing the converted document
xcomponent.dispose();

When it is the only open document, Writer will get finished.

I run the same under Win-XP.
In XP it run OK.

Also if I run soffice -plugin -quickstart "-accept....", and then run the DocumentServer sample, the server stay alive for about 3 more minutes.

I had the same problem on Linux with the server quitting after converting files. My solution was to use Xvfb to run it in visible mode, but the graphics just rendering to nowhere.

What is the -plugin option to soffice? I haven't seen that one before.
