trying to use librecalc in a bash script. sybtas? variable?


The command that seems to be indicated in the docs. that I have founf is: "libreoffice -o filename.ods" or "localc -o filename.com". But it doesn't work for me in mint13 mate. What will?

Maybe I have the symtax wrong. Maybe I could use a bash environment variable. I have no idea where to start with that. Or if it would work.

Libreoffice seems to balk about srarting from a terminal if followed by anything more than one "&", but I need for it to load a filename.ods and then wait till I am done editing, and save and close libreoffice, and then carry out a few more commands.

Try calling the scalc program directly.
Code:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/scalc filename.ods
