Recently on a mac, trying to do this thing:
open -a /Applications/OpenOffice.app --args -writer
But it only opens a new writer if OpenOffice hasn't been started yet, if it was started before it shows the last active window.
How to create a new document from the console?

Maybe try the -n switch?

open -n /Applications/OpenOffice.app --args -writer
