That I got two responses after posting to tor-relays regarding a fairly simple, I thought, CntrolPort question on a new VPS relay.. That's pathetic. Thanks for all your input.
Hi, It's difficult to nail down without any actual information to go on. It's sort of like saying "my back hurts" and asking people what may have caused it to hurt. You'll get a few random answers, at best. -k0nsl

Well. even a doctor would make a few suggestions based on some sort of experience based reasoning. Perhaps some connection problems associated with running tor-arm on a VPS vs. a home server...things of that nature. Also I was just wondering as I don't see many of the relay operators that used to post to this list around anymore, has something changed to make them move on?? Lots of people whining about their consensus weight numbers, but little of substance being posted.

Well, for me it is obvious. This list is a massive disappointment so I don't wonder why it's quiet.
I thought I was joining a loose but passionate, clever and idealistic community. I thought I would learn just being a listener and building my knowledge of security and servers.
In nearly four years I've learned little except not to post unless I'm able to cope with a smack from out of the blue for not knowing.
Yeah I see the probleme: Your didn't provide any Config extract nor logs nor other stuff like that. Provide your config to see if you made an unix socket or a network socket or if you set any password. If you set up a network listener please provide netstat output. Maybe a dumb question: Have you restarted Tor after you made changes?
Provide information that the community can analyze. Just whining won't help.

Yes. After ive done changes i always restart the Server hard. Tor is Running As Daemon so hours after restart i just do a check at atlas.torproject.org if its up&running ~ usually it is, so just fine
dont hesitate to ask but dont expect a answer here. join irc or your local kind community.

disappointments result from expectations.
i have learned some things by reading this list. i have learned other things as well.

The people who know what they're doing can quickly, reliably set-and-forget relays. That's the ideal scenario - tweaking knobs is mostly a liability and performance issues are a development concern.

This is very much the case.
Looks like you got more than you paid for.

+1 to that.
People on this list are all volunteers - both as relay operators and as list participants. If any of those volunteers choose to help fellow list members, then good for them. However, if list posters whine and castigate others then they should not be surprised if no-one helps in future.

Believe it or not, Kurt, if you'd asked in your follow-up in anything resembling a nice or appreciative tone, I'd have helped you. I'm on too many email lists and things get buried sometimes, so I didn't see any of your original requests. I had a few minutes today where I could have chatted with you on IRC and worked things out, maybe.
Instead I gave you a pithy short reply, because that's all your attitude deserves.
Take it as a life lesson (or not, I don't really care that much) but you'll get a lot more support from people if you don't act like an entitled jerk who deserves other peoples' time and expertise for free.

You're right, I have been too hasty in my negative responses
to this list's subscribers. For that I do apologize to everyone. I too am nothing more than a volunteer relay operator like most here and as such have no special privileges or power to "force" anyone's response. In hindsight I realize that. Unfortunately living in this fast paced society of entitlement it's easy to occasionally get caught up in it, again, for that I am sorry.

I suspect you're also getting few replies because relatively few experienced relay operators use arm. That's only a guess, but I found arm a needless, breakable complication after the rush of running my first relay wore off.
It is fun to use and useful to beginners, though. :-) No disrespect to the developers.
Do you got an alternative for arm? i use munin too, for connections etc.

"For connections"? Why do you ever need to view the actual connections from/to your relay.
As alternatives to arm, when looking after a relay that's spinning up, I use 'nload' and 'top', and for the longer term monitoring I have a small script which periodically mails me outputs of 'vnstat' hourly/daily/monthly reports running from crontab.

He probably means viewing the total number of connections to and from the relay. This is what I use munin for too: the total number of connections and the total amount of incoming and outgoing bandwidth.
I use arm too to make me feel comfortable at a dull moment by staring at the graphs doing their thing. You can call it crazy but I call it relaxing ;)

As someone else mentioned, I use general system tools (for OpenBSD: systat, ifstat, pftop, lsof, etc.) for more complicated diagnoses.
Are you aware that you just wrote "write that sort of retort privately" by not, yourself, writing your retort privately?
As to why I published my original reply to the list, it's because I felt that other lurkers who are perhaps newbies to how open source support listservs work might also benefit from the lesson.
