Hi! Watch in the log for this message: |[notice] Delaying directory fetches: We are hibernating or shutting down.| | | Regards, excurso forest-relay-contact--- wrote via tor-relays:
Hello.
What is the authoritative way to determine if a relay is hibernating? I would have thought that using the control socket would be best, but Tor seems to unlink it when it enters hibernation, so Stem does not work.
There's a possible heuristic by checking if /run/tor/tor.pid exists when /run/tor/control does not, but that's fragile because it assumes that the control socket is even enabled. Parsing the logs is doable, but also quite fragile. And I could certainly parse /var/lib/tor/state, but its format is surely subject to change at any time.
How do I correctly determine whether a Tor process is in hibernation?
