lowriter convert-to html crashes with multiple files

Question

I need to convert multiple .rtf-files to html. I thought the libre office commandline suit (lowriter) would do:

lowriter --headless --convert-to html *.rtf

But the program finishes (or crashed?) without any error-message at file number 249 (from around 380). I don't know why. As lowriter doesn't seem to have a good error-log (acording to the stackoverflow-post from Arnon Weinberg), maybe one of the .rtf-files is corrupt and the program crashes. But lowriter won't say. Is this possible?

Answer 1

I have no solution, but a workaround which workes fine for me:

for f in *.rtf; do lowriter --headless --convert-to html $f; done

I would be happy to know, if anybody can confirm or explain my problem and come up with a solution!
