Is it worth keeping nodes from restarting in these cases (ie: not often)? 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. -- Pablo Brasero On 14 March 2015 at 12:12, Alexander Dietrich <alexander@dietrich.cx> wrote:
On Ubuntu, "service tor reload" should also work.
There's not a lot you can do about updates that require a restart (other than to restart).
You can automate the restarts though, install "unattended-upgrades" and "update-notifier-common", then check out the config files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.

Hi Larry,
Sorry if this question has been answered dozens of times before. I have
a middle relay that has been operational since last summer. I wish to make some alterations to my torrc file and make these changes operationally active without stopping and restarting tor. Is this possible? I experience a bit of down time whenever I up bandwidth, change contact info, etc. I'm also disapointed when ubuntu sends updates that require a server restart. What is the best method to handle this on a stand-alone server?
You can use the -reload option after changing your torrc. The daemon keeps running but reloads the config file.
