Hello! I would like to ask what the preferred way is to shut down a relay gracefully in case of maintenance downtime to avoid interrupted connections. The shutdown process might take a while. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1760260473muell@stinkedores.dorfdsl.de

You can set "ShutdownWaitLength <seconds>" in your torrc file to allow for a grace period. -Ralph
