Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro to abandon edits

You might have to run a logout script from some type of ".rc" file.

This is not the actual command and is not the best way to do it. It 
should be possible.
The script will have a
    kill -9 soffice.bin
            and will need code to find it with 'ps'.

See 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2745/how-to-run-a-script-during-gnome-log-out 
as an example from Gnome.

Hope this helps.
