Hello George, Assuming you are on Ubuntu, you will find the package provides three systemd services: openvswitch-switch.service ovs-vswitchd.service ovsdb-server.service The openvswitch-switch.service is a "virtual" umbrella service to manage both the ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server services from one entry point. We do this because Open vSwitch consists of multiple parts which one may want to operate independently. In any case, you can view the status of the services with these commands: `systemctl status openvswitch-switch` `systemctl status ovs-vswitchd` `systemctl status ovsdb-server` You may also add the `.service` suffix to the above commands if you want to. -- Frode Nordahl _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
