for 30 mins as checking if there are any errors. Which leads to another question. Is /etc/tor/torrc read on the fly? That is editing torrc will change the server on writing the file, or does it need tor restart with each edit. I had assumed the latter.

You need to "reload" the Tor process, send it a SIGHUP signal, to make it reread the configuration. Some configuration options are only picked up on restart. No changes are picked up "on the fly".

Is this just me and something wrong with torrc ? or a more general problem?

You can post the log with "notice" enabled, and also post the fingerprint if you want more feedback.
