<p>From my (limited) experience, the restarts don't even show up on Globe usually, and they don't affect the relay flags (except for HSDir).</p>

<div>Is it worth keeping nodes from restarting in these cases (ie: not often)?<br /><br />When running Tor nodes, I think of my uptimes more as a vanity metric, and don't worry much about restarting machines after updates. If there's a value to running a more "high availability" node, please somebody let me know.<br /><br />-- </div>

I have<br /> a middle relay that has been operational since last summer. I wish to<br /> make some alterations to my torrc file and make these changes<br /> operationally active without stopping and restarting tor. Is this<br /> possible? I experience a bit of down time whenever I up bandwidth,<br /> change contact info, etc. I'm also disapointed when ubuntu sends<br /> updates that require a server restart. What is the best method to<br /> handle this on a stand-alone server?</blockquote>
<br /> You can use the -reload option after changing your torrc.
