Converting odt to pdf files with script

About 6500 odt files must be converted to pdf.
And this takes ~43 minutes to complete on my computer.

Which works faster than the libreoffice pdf converter and uses less RAM.

With such a high volume of files to convert, 45 minutes seems about average, to me. No matter which method you use it’s going to take time; I don’t think this can be avoided.

After ~15 minutes, the computer goes to sleep, hibernates or suspend.

Well, you could change your power saving settings; set suspend to 1 hour, or similar. My guess is that you don’t want to do that; so here’s another option;

Caffeine-ng will prevent screen blanking, sleep, or hibernation, for as long as you have it active:
