openoffice startup script

[boy412]

I can't get openoffice to start as part of the Alfresco startup script. I'm using OpenOffice 2.3 and followed the steps from here:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Running_OpenOffice_From_Terminal

I'm not sure I totally understand the syntax of this command:

$ sudo -H -u alfresco /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" 
-nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard
‍‍‍

I am guessing this is asking to execute the soffice program as the user "alfresco". How do I know if the alfresco user is running tomcat?

If I try to launch it from the command line (by entering the code above) I get an error…"Could Not Find a Java Runtime Enviornment).

Blech…

I'll try that. I've currently got the headless version installed, so I'm removing that and installing the openoffice.org package. I'll post back with the results.

Thanks!

OK. Removed the headless version and installed the openoffice.org package using apt-get. When I tried launching OO from the command line I got this error:

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display: 
   Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
   or check permissions of your X-Server
   (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)
‍‍‍‍‍

So I removed openoffice.org and re-installed the headless version. When I try and start it from the command line I get nothing…the cursor just sits there with no error or other output (like its caught in a loop or something).

How much space should the openoffice.org-headless install require?

The Linux installer binary does not work for me, so I've done this install the "Linux Way".

:?

If I run:
echo $JAVA_HOME 

I get this:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

So that's where Java is…yes?
