Description

When rebooting the firewall, the softflowd process(s) can get started twice. I did some investigation and believe what is happening is the pfSense package manager is telling the softflowd package to sync, and then starts the service. The problem is, the softflowd sync also starts the service. If timing is just right (almost always in my case), two softflowd process per enabled interface getstarted.

In the custom_php_global_functions for the package, the function sync_package_softflowd is invoking restart_service near the end. I changed this to restart_service_if_running which appears to have solved the problem.
