Bingo! That made the trick! Thank you very, very much! Cool! That command is stopping and starting jails in the order as listed in "jail_list". Ok, it isn't stopping jails in the reverse order, but that is no big deal, though.

[Arrrgh, I never heard of "service" before (after so many years with FBSD) :-( What a shame ...]

Thanks and with kind regards,
