This line executes the /etc/netnmrc  script.   The inline comment
correctly describes the effect of the script. 

If you look in the /etc/netnmrc  file you'll see the calls to ovstart
and friends.     

This is important if you say change some environment variables used by
netview.  An ovstop;ovstart pair doesn't do everything you need for
that case.  To completely kill and restart you :

root# ovstop   (this may be redundant with the following command)
root# ovstop nvsecd
root# nettl -stop   (this may not be required)
root# /etc/netnmrc

I learned this tidbit when adjusting the AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters
environment variable.
