OpenOffice is usually blamed for slow startup times. The 2.0 version of this great software shows some improvements in this field too but here's is a HOWTO on speeding up the OO.o 1.1.x line. This is based on a linuxjournal.com article.
1.
Code:
sudo gedit /opt/oostay
2. paste this to oostay:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Restart ooffice -quickstart every time it exits
instances=`ps ax | grep -e -quickstart | grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ $instances == 0 ]; then
while true; do ooffice -quickstart ; done
else
exit 1
fi
3. make it Xecutable by
Code:
sudo chmod a+x /opt/oostay
4. launch gnome-session-properties and the script to the automatically launched programs. So: "/opt/oostay" priority: 50
