I have an LTSP network setup with about 5-10 users on it at any given time. It mostly runs fine, but openoffice has been giving me trouble, it hangs for someone about every other day. When it does this the user cannot open openoffice, cannot see any running instance of openoffice, but is listed in ps aux about 6 times.

pkill rarely fixes it, normally a kill -9 is required. I have noticed that when it happens it seems to be when the user has opened a document from an email attachment(email client is thunderbird). Of course this doc is temporarily in the /tmp folder.

Does anyone else have this problem and if so has any solution beyond manually killing processes exist?

Ive been wondering if it is linked to the fact all users are using the same tmp folder, and the files are somehow colliding or something. Although this can be changed in openoffice, it cannot be changed in thunderbird via options that I can see, so it will still open in /tmp.

Try attaching strace to the existing process or launching a new process with it.
Which version of OOo are you using on which Linux distribution?
