The /etc/rc.d/jail script does nothing when its restart subcommand is
called.
This is due to these lines:
##### in /etc/rc.d/jail, line 246ff
cmd="$1"
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
~ shift
fi
[ -n "$*" ] && jail_list="$*"
run_rc_command "${cmd}"
##### in /etc/rc.subr, line 773f
( $0 ${_rc_prefix}stop $rc_extra_args )
$0 ${_rc_prefix}start $rc_extra_args
##### in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, line 513
jail_list="" # Space separated list of names of jails
So /etc/rc.d/jail throws away the parameters after saving its value in
$jail_list. It calls /etc/rc.subr which, for the restart command, then
calls /etc/rc.d/jail stop and /etc/rc.d/jail start, which both in turn
source /etc/defaults/rc.conf, which again clears $jail_list.
My suggestion would be to let /etc/defaults/* just do the job it is
being meant for: providing defaults. This would lead to the following diff.

~ jail_sysvipc_allow="NO" # Allow SystemV IPC use from within a jail
However, theres lots of variables that should not be reset if already
set, I might want to call /etc/rc.d/jail having set up some variables
(including jail_list) myself (which in fact I tried in another project).
Are there any situation, where accepting variables from environment of
caller can be harmful?
