Description of problem:

LibreOffice, when run in daemon mode (soffice.bin --headless) for converting documents sent to it by clients creates a zombie process when it has no access to an X server (which it shouldn't need in this case).  Apparently, if it's started from within an X session, it doesn't do this, but that won't help someone who wants this to start at boot.  The main daemon process seems to work OK, but this zombie wondering about the system is unsettling to some.  Please see external bug:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95843

for a reasonably extensive treatment of this bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Customer is using 5.0.6.2-15, but it seems to be in the latest Fedora as well.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. This particular customer is using the command line:

/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --headless --accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp; --pidfile=/var/run/soffice.pid --nologo --nodefault --nofirststartwizard

to start theirs, but according to the other bug report sited above, it seems to do this with any form of "soffice.bin --headless"

2.

A ps issued directly after the above should show you a zombie child.

Actual results:

Zombie.

Expected results:

No zombie.
