Hi If I do: soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx /home/me/sheets.ods --outdir /home/me/tmp
from the command line everything works fine: func=xmlSecCheckVersionExt:file=xmlsec.c:line=188:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=19:invalid version:mode=abi compatible;expected minor version=2;real minor version=2;expected subminor version=25;real subminor version=26 convert /home/me/sheets.ods -> /home/me/tmp/sheets.xlsx using filter : Calc Office Open XML However, if I do the same thing from a shell script $(soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx /home/me/sheets.ods --outdir /home/me/tmp ) I get this: func=xmlSecCheckVersionExt:file=xmlsec.c:line=188:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=19:invalid version:mode=abi compatible;expected minor version=2;real minor version=2;expected subminor version=25;real subminor version=26 convert /tmp/magick-245771VE8simr9bq5 -> /tmp/magick-245771VE8simr9bq5.pdf using filter : calc_pdf_Export 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 I have no idea why it should randomly decide to do anything with PDF. Quite aside from this, the script then hangs waiting for soffice(?) to finish, which it never* does. $ soffice -h | grep LibreOffice LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 00m0(Build:3) * Actually, I lie. It takes a long time - way longer than it took to generate the xslx from the command line - but after some time ps can't find the soffice process any more. The shell script *still* doesn't continue/end, however. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
