this is excessive in at least some circumstances. The restart flushes the SAD so it will cause at least a brief outage, and hence needs to be minimized. Some, if not most, of these changes should be applied just sending a SIGHUP to charon. Discussed here:

Yeah i have done this for mobile settings and some reports from the forum where the settings were not updated.
I will double check which plugins do not support reload and update the ticket.

I reported a bug 4425 which I'm thinking might be related to this. Let me know if you need any logs from me.

working on this

it at least only restarts when something is actually changed, and the HUP doesn't seem to apply things it should with strongswan in some cases. Leaving this as is for now, needs review for future releases.

This have been fixed with the code change to use the starter pid for events rather than charon one.

we've done a lot of work here in later 2.2.x versions. I'm not aware of anything that's handled incorrectly here anymore.
