Hello,
I'm somewhat new to running relays and have a couple separate but related questions about the hibernation and waking up process.
1) I have AccountingMax and AccountingStart set (to '1850 GB' and 'month 3 15:00', respectively). Yesterday, the last day of the accounting period, my relay went into hibernation at around 7:00. I started running this relay just last month, however, and it had only used approximately 440 GB of the AccountingMax quota. Tor then tried to wake up at 15:00. Is it expected behavior with Accounting{Max,Start} to hibernate on the last/first day of the period even if you're under quota?
2) I have the relay configured to run on port 443. When Tor woke up, it was unable to bind to 443, and so the relay stayed down. Again, is this known/expected behavior that if a relay is set to run on a privileged port it needs human/root intervention to re-bind after hibernation?
By the way, I'm running Debian Stable and using the system packages, so I have (I'm assuming) an old-ish version of Tor (2.3.25).
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere before.
Thanks, Nik
