I found in System Monitor I was looking at "my processes". I changed 
that to all processes and found oo.org.server.sh, soffice and 
soffice.bin.  I selected them and tried to kill them but they still seem 
to be running according to system monitor and update manager says they 
are still running and will not update OO.
