A little OT, but if Arm is giving you trouble perhaps try using nload or<br/>
lsof to view activity on your relay. When I started running a tor relay<br/>
I was very dependent on Arm to, 'see what was going on', but over time I<br/>
realized that if things were going smoothly there was little need to run<br/>
a background app such as Arm.<br/>
