Tor not releasing port on shutdown?
Hi, the most recent times I have tried to restart Tor after a 'killall -INT' I have been presented with the following error: "[warn] Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:9001: Address already in use. Is Tor already running?" I'm not sure if this has started since I changed version, I'm on Tor 0.2.2.22-alpha (git-e5e38e55b33b2cc0) OSX 10.3.9 . Anyone else see this? How do I release that port? Command 'lsof -i' returns no results, so I don't see Tor is really using it still - no sign of Tor in command 'ps -aux' output. Update: after running those commands, Tor was able to start. Why the delay? Is this normal? TIA GD -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The professional email service

By default Tor takes 30 seconds before it really exits, you can modify this "timeout" by specifying ShutdownWaitLength in your torrc. from the manpage: ShutdownWaitLength NUM When we get a SIGINT and we’re a server, we begin shutting down: we close listeners and start refusing new circuits. After NUM seconds, we exit. If we get a second SIGINT, we exit immediately. (Default: 30 seconds)

Yes, this was after the 30 second wait and tor disappearing from a list of running processes - but thank you both anyway. GD -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for. Try it for free

Hmm, what you're describing sounds like SO_REUSEADDR problems, but tor sets that correctly on its sockets AFAICS. -andy

A mystery. My guess is either there's something special about your OS X version, or you're doing it wrong. :) One approach to debugging further might be to use Tor's PidFile option. Tor will create a file when it starts, and remove the file when it exits cleanly. You might like Debian's init script for examples of starting and stopping Tor: https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/blob_plain/master:/debian/tor.i... See e.g. check_torpiddir() and wait_for_deaddaemon(). Hope that helps, --Roger
