Hi Matt,

It's either start-process or start-process-shell-command you want I
think. Also, I believe we may have hit on not-quite-the-correct export
hook. This seems to work:

(defun  mwp/push-latex-to-odt ()
  "takes the exported tex file from org-mode and converts it to odt,
then launches openoffice"
  (let* ((file-name (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)))
         (output-buffer "*latex-to-odt output*")
         (cmd (format  "mk4ht oolatex %s.tex && ooffice %s.odt"
                      file-name file-name)))
    (message "Converting latex to odt")
    (start-process-shell-command
     "latex-to-odt" output-buffer cmd)))

(add-hook 'org-export-latex-after-save-hook
          'mwp/push-latex-to-odt)

Dan
