Upstart script example for unoconv on ubuntu

Back to unoconv installation

This script can be installed to /etc/init/unoconv.conf and then started with the command:

sudo start unoconv

Here is the script.

# Unoconv listener service

# Install to /etc/init/ folder and start with "sudo service unoconv start"
# This will start a unoconv listener and restart it if it dies. The listener
# will run as the apache user "www-data" and have access to the same files/folders
# as that user.
# The home folder for this listener will point to /tmp/ and any temporary files used by
# libreoffice will be created there.
