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 run the wanted
OpenOffice.org module.
OPTIONS
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.
