+Ordinarily \fBovsdb\-server\fR runs forever, or until it is told to
+exit (see \fBRUNTIME MANAGEMENT COMMANDS\fR below).  With this option,
+\fBovsdb\-server\fR instead starts a shell subprocess running
+\fIcommand\fR.  When the subprocess terminates, \fBovsdb\-server\fR
+also exits gracefully.  If the subprocess exits normally with exit
+code 0, then \fBovsdb\-server\fR exits with exit code 0 also;

+This option can be useful where a database server is needed only to
