Description: When I create the component context like below Reference< XComponentContext > xContext(::cppu::bootstrap()); The soffice is running and I am opening some large file or corrupted file which eventually hang the soffice or takes too much of time to process it, In that case I need to wait some time and kill the soffice if the work is not completed in the defined time. The problem is: I am running multiple instances of my applications to achieve the parllel processing which launches the multiple soffice instances and , I don;t know which soffice is taking time/hung to kill it. So it is nice to have a process id returned when I called Reference< XComponentContext > xContext(::cppu::bootstrap()); Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch the soffice with Reference< XComponentContext > xContext(::cppu::bootstrap()); in your sample application. 2. Load the heavy document using loadComponentFromURL which takes some minutes, 3. when this takes time , try to gracefully kill the soffice and come out of it. But there is no way if multiple soffice instances are running. Actual Results: No PID of the soffice available after launching it via Reference< XComponentContext > xContext(::cppu::bootstrap()); Expected Results: Should return the PID maybe via XComponentContext Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 25.2.4.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 33e196637044ead23f5c3226cde09b47731f7e27 CPU threads: 22; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
