What is the proper way to stop/start/restart a relay? I’ve ‘corrupted’ a few relays during this process, for example a relay had a new fingerprint after restarting the machine. Actually my biggest problems thus far are all based around Tor behaving weird after a restart.

I think raspbian = debian commands on systems with systemd:

either first: ~$ su or put 'sudo' in front of the commands:

start tor # systemctl start tor stop tor # systemctl stop tor reload config # systemctl reload tor stop + start tor # systemctl restart tor

at several tor instances: # systemctl reload tor@00 # systemctl reload tor@01

restart machine # reboot stop the machine # shutdown -h now
