I am trying to start openoffice.org 1.1.2 as a daemon listening on port 8100
on Mac OS X (10.3.9 or 10.4.x) when the system boots. I can now start X11
up (needed by openoffice) at boot time by using a startupitem and running
Xvfb. This, and the command to start openoffice, are in a script used by
the StartupItem (for Tomcat actually).
Problem with this approach is that I need to be sure X is up before starting
OpenOffice - any reliable way to do that in a shell script?
Or, should I try using xinit to start the server and open office - e.g.
exec xinit ./sofficeStartup.sh -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :0 &
OR
export DISPLAY=:0
export
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program:/Applications/Op
enOffice.org1.1.2/program/filter
exec xinit /Applications/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/program/soffice
"-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"
-invisible > ../logs/so.out 2> ../so.err -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :0
Note that both of these work when I have logged in; but for some reason will
NOT work from startup.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
