-lockcheck Don't check for remote instances using a .lock file in the user folder.
-nodefault Don't start with an empty document.
-headless Suppresses any modal dialog so OpenOffice.org can run without user interaction. This is NOT designed to run OOo as a "background" process. The Office still starts and open document views. It's the task of a developer to use the API correctly to assure that no UI is shown.
