DESCRIPTION
OpenOffice.org is a fully featured office suite for the daily use with
all features you would normally expect in a office suite.
This script runs OpenOffice with the arguments <args> given on the command line.
There are also some wrapper scripts in /usr/bin which are calling the "normal" openoffice script and run the wanted OpenOffice.org module.
OPTIONS
These arguments are processed by the wrapper itself.
- --version
- This option displays the version of this OpenOffice.org build.
- --widgets-set widgetsset
- This option allows to start the application with an other widgets set.
- These arguments are passed directly to the real start binary by the wrapper.
- filename...
- Files to operate on. Opening them is the default behavior, which can be influenced by command line arguments. -p will print the files instead.
- -accept=accept-string
- Notifies the OpenOffice.org software that upon the creation of "UNO Acceptor Threads", a "UNO Accept String" will be used.
- -base Starts with the database wizard.
- -calc Starts with an empty Calc document.
- -display display
- This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7)
- -draw Starts with an empty Draw document.
- -global
- Starts with an empty Global document.
- -headless
- Starts in "headless mode", which allows using the application without user interface.
- This special mode can be used when the application is controlled by external clients via the API.
- -help|-h|-?
- Lists the available OOo-native command line parameters to the console.
- -impress
- Starts with an empty Impress document.
- -invisible
- Starts in invisible mode.
- Neither the start-up logo nor the initial program window will be visible. However, the OpenOffice.org software can be controlled and documents and dialogs opened via the API.
- When the OpenOffice.org software has been started with this parameter, it can only be ended using the taskmanager (Windows) or the kill command (UNIX based systems).
- It cannot be used in conjunction with -quickstart.
- -math Starts with an empty Math document.
- -minimized
- Keep the splash screen minimized.
- -n filename
- Creates a new document using filename as a template.
- -nodefault
- Starts the application without any window opened for the first time. A window appears if you start the office next time.
- It is used together with the option -nologo by quickstarters. Note that the option -quickstart has not been longer supported since OpenOffice.org 2.0.0.
- -nolockcheck
- Disables the check for remote instances using the installation.
- -nologo
- Disables the splash screen at program start.
- -norestore
- Disables restart and file recovery after a system crash. It is possible OOo will try to restore a file it keeps crashing on, if that happens -norestore is the only way to start OOo.
- -o filename
- Opens filename for editing, even if it is a template.
- -p filename...
- Prints the given files to the default printer and ends. The splash screen does not appear.
- If the file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
- -pt printername filename...
- Prints the given files to the printer printername and ends. The splash screen does not appear.
- If the file name contains spaces, then it must be enclosed in quotation marks.
- -show presentation
- Starts with the given Impress file and starts the presentation. Enters edit mode after the presentation.
- -unaccept=accept-string
- Closes an acceptor that was created with -accept option.
- Use -unaccept=all to close all open acceptors.
- -terminate_after_init
- The office terminates after it registers some UNO services. The office doesn't show the intro bitmap during startup.
- -view filename
- Creates a temporary copy of the given file and opens it read-only.
- -web Starts with an empty HTML document.
- -writer
- Starts with an empty Writer document.
