Comment(by frankjb):

 I agree a persistent instance would be useful but I've had issues
 regarding it being buggy, I've seen posts from a few people who have
 claimed the same but I suspect it could be unoconv since  I know the
 Alfresco project uses OpenOffice in such a way maybe it's worth looking in
 to.

 As for my script, it's not complete but it's a start.  I guess I could
 dump the files in a "temporary" directory, do the cat *.html then delete
 the directory.

 If omindex is running as another use you could just do "killall -u xapian"
 for example but I better way would be to use regexp to find any processes
 running my macro.

 But I'll have a look at using a persistent instance using the python
 bindings when I get a chance and avoid unoconv.
