This document describes how to build and install Open vSwitch on a
-generic Linux host host. If you want to install Open vSwitch on a

+generic Linux host. If you want to install Open vSwitch on a Citrix
+XenServer version 5.5.0, see INSTALL.XenServer instead.
This version of Open vSwitch should be built manually with "configure"
and "make". Debian packaging for Open vSwitch is also included, but
At runtime, you may make ovs-vswitchd reload its configuration file
and update its configuration accordingly by sending it a SIGHUP
-signal. The ovs-appctl utility can also be used to do this with a
-command such as:
+signal. The ovs-appctl utility can also be used to do this:
- % ovs-appctl -t <pid> -e vswitchd/reload
+ % ovs-appctl vswitchd/reload
-where <pid> is ovs-vswitchd's process ID. In the latter case,
-ovs-appctl will not exit until the reload and reconfiguration is
-complete.
+In the latter case, ovs-appctl will wait for ovs-vswitchd to finish
+reloading before it exits.
