May be we can add another flag, say '-r' that will do 'exec run". If you agree, I can send a separate patch to add those flags. > It's really a question of which use case has to do an extra step.

On the other hand, there is nothing I can think of will break, so this use case should be valid for the time being. On the third hand, if we end up with another flag, there is no reason to encourage this usage. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
