I have a script that opens 5 programs I use, including libreoffice.
I use the LO development version so the entry I use to invoke it is:
cd /opt/lib*/programs/
nohup soffice &
but that only gets me to a blank start center with none of my current files listed. I need my current files.
Thank you.

Probably your dev-version use not the same Environ-vars.
try something like:
soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///home/susan/.config/libreoffice/4/Thank you karolus: this works.
Hi SusanCragin
In the modern LO versions, your StartCenter executable is called… soffice.bin! There are also other files that will launch the suite, but they are all either shortcuts to soffice.bin or shell executables invoking one aspect of it’s load. Probably the best thing to do is to invoke it’s help output (huge). Here’s a taster:-
:~$ /opt/libreoffice5.0/program/soffice.bin --help
