 locates the modules, calls their launch() function (if it exists), and
 then transitions to the "up" state.
 
 Modules are looked for everywhere that Python normally looks, plus the
 "pox" and "ext" directories.  Thus, you can do the following:
 
-  ./pox.py forwarding.l2_learning
+  ./pox forwarding.l2_learning
 
 You can pass options to the modules by specifying options after the module
 name.  These are passed to the module's launch() funcion.  For example,
 to set the address or port of the controller, invoke as follows:
 
-  ./pox.py openflow.of_01 --address=10.1.1.1 --port=6634
