Hi, I was able to eliminate the need for soffice daemon using my old script in:
http://kwlug.org/sites/kwlug.org/files/openmeetings-startup.tgz (author: Raul Suarez ra...@yahoo.com) Just download, unpack (tar -xvzf) and copy the file "red5" to "/etc /init.d/". So OM 2.0 will run and convert text without turning on the soffice daemon. PS: Do not know why I could not disable the daemon in the soffice script Stephen.
