<pre>I recently had my graphics driver crash, and cannot interact with my computer
locally (I can't even switch out to a different virtual terminal). However, I
can log in to the system via ssh, so I'm looking through the list of running
processes and trying to figure out what work I can somehow save and what I
can't. I have at least one document open in LibreOffice, and while I *think*
everything's been saved, I can't verify it visually, and it would be great to
have a means of forcing open documents to be saved to disk rather than having
to rely on being able to recover them after terminating the process.
On platforms that support remote text logins, I propose an option that might be
described in the man page something like the following:
--graphics-hosed
For use in emergencies when the system graphics stack is hung or
otherwise unusable.
Implies --headless and --invisible.
The application ignores any GUI environment and signals
non-headless LibreOffice processes started by the same user to save any open
files and exit.</pre>
