Comment:

 Reassigning since the torctl script is not part of the torctl component
 (it's an unfortunate naming conflict that has been left unresolved for
 years since none of us touch torctl.sh). Leaving this ticket open though
 since, if the script is truly broken, we should either fix it or finally
 remove it to avoid further confusion.

 The most mature method for programmatically controlling a tor instance is
 pytorctl...

 I'm currently working on its successor, stem, but it isn't yet ready for
 users (help wanted)...
