Hello,

So recently I upgraded from tor 0.3.3.8 to tor 0.3.3.9, and used the killall -HUP command to restart the relay. However this did nothing,  the relay consensus says I am still running tor 0.3.3.8 days later. Is there a way I can cause the upgrade to appear without completely restarting the relay?

The OS is macos High Sierra 10.13.6.

No. You have to restart the process, thus the relay. (Can you update any other program without restarting it entirely? [If you say the Linux kernel, does your distro actually do it?])

Don't fret about uptime or flags. Updates -- both for Tor and your OS -- are more important.

Thanks for running a relay.
