Option --no-launch

This option may be required when soffice monitored by monit daemon.

Hmm, I am probably lacking some insight here. Why do you want to run unoconv without a listener if no LibreOffice instance is running ? What purpose does unoconv have without a way to communicate with LibreOffice ?

Thanks for clarifying :-)

Hello Dag.
Im running unoconv via Delayed_Job, but I need to control resources (CPU, Memory).
Example: dd if=/dev/urandom of=tmp.doc bs=1M count=20 && unoconv -f pdf tmp.doc
As result => 99% CPU, 80% memory in process soffice.
In my case I'm running soffice via monit daemon (with resource control), and monit, if necessary, will restart soffice (defined PID) independently.
If unoconv will started own self soffice instance, so monit daemon not be able to control its.
With --no-launch option unoconv should search soffice on TCP port and exit with non zero return code if not found. Delayed_job will processed later.
Clearly I explained? :-)
