But this had the side effect of causing errors at system shutdown, since ovsdb-server gets shut down before the rewrite action is called. This commit fixes the problem by skipping the update if the database socket does not exist. (It's just fine to skip the update, since the external-ids will be re-set the next time the system boots anyhow.) This commit fixed the problem on 5.6.810-34773p for me. I don't see the problem at all on 5.5.0. Presumably system shutdown order has changed. NIC-136.
