When www/apache2 is configured to use profiles, multiple start's and stop's are
called when the restart directive is issued.  When a large number of profiles
are used, *every* profile is started and stoped for each profile, instead of
each profile individually, i.e., when 5 profiles are configured, each profile
restarts 5 times.

When issuing a reload (a simple signal sent by rc.subr), each profile reloads,
just once:

manhattan# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh reload
===> apache2 profile: httpd171
Reloading apache2 config files.
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
===> apache2 profile: httpd171old
Reloading apache2 config files.
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
===> apache2 profile: httpd172
Reloading apache2 config files.
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
manhattan# 

Yet on a restart ($0 start, $0 stop sent by rc.subr), the apache.sh script calls
itself again for each profile (just ignore the fact that httpd171 was stopped
when I called it last):

manhattan# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart
===> apache2 profile: httpd171
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
===> apache2 profile: httpd171

manhattan# logout

Or the 'set -x' version:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart 2>&1 | grep apache2.sh
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart httpd171

You can see by the next line, that rc.subr has called 'stop' and is not
aware that there was a profile attached to the restart line above, so
apache.sh proceedes to stop everything.

+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd172
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd172

So, apache.sh, thinking its just restarted the first profile, goes away
to restart the next one.

+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd172
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd172

Whee....

+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart httpd172
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh stop httpd172
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd171old
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start httpd172

Fix: Don't rerun the apache2.sh rc script on restart's, just stop and start normally:
How-To-Repeat: Install www/apache2 from ports:

manhattan# cd /usr/ports/www/apache2
manhattan# make install clean

Add lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable apache2 profiles (filenames are fake):

apache2_enable="YES"
apache2_profiles="httpd1 httpd2 httpd3"
apache2_httpd1_configfile="/usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd1.conf"
apache2_httpd2_configfile="/usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd2.conf"
apache2_httpd3_configfile="/usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd3.conf"

Run:

manhattan# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart
