So following those instructions, there are several issues :

(1) in order for a shell script to be launchable from Finder, you need to
associate it with an app. By default, Terminal.app does not have the
authorisation to launch userland scripts, the user has to go and authorise this
in the OS security settings.

(2) by default, no app is assigned to the execution ".sh" files, so this has to
be sought out specifically, bearing in mind that Terminal.app does not appear
in the list of "recommended applications" foressen by Apple. As it turned out,
I have XCode installed, and this was set as the default for all ".sh" files.
OK, navigated my way around that and managed to set Terminal.app as the app to
open the ".sh" files by default.

(3) double clicking on the soffice.sh file from Finder gives the following from
the Terminal :

As a result, LO fails to start. Retrying leads to the same failed result.
