[GRLUG] odt2txt

I returned to my computer (running Fedora 40). It should have been 
suspended; instead it was running, and running hot. I looked at System 
Monitor and a lot of my CPU cores were bumping up at 100%. At the top of 
the processes list was odt2txt using 8.3% of CPU. Also running were FF, 
LO Writer, and LO Calc. Earlier, VirtualBox was running a Win10 guest, 
but that was all shut down.

When I search online, it tells me odt2txt is a simple, command-line 
utility to extract text from odt documents.

I never started the utility and I don't think I ever installed it.

Any idea how it might have gotten started and why it would be using so 
much capacity when it wasn't doing anything?

Thanks.
