I use openoffice in a bash script to convert various files to html. However, at the moment I have to get my script to pause for 8 seconds to wait for openoffice to finish, because openoffice automatically runs itself in the background.

Does anybody know a way to get ooffice to run in the foreground, i.e. so that my script waits for it to quit before continuing?
