 Replying to [comment:10 phw]:
 > We should also make the service start automatically at boot -- perhaps
 by creating a systemd script?

 If it's just run as a normal user, and doesn't need to be root or
 anything, you can start it on boot with a line in that user's crontab,
 like
 {{{
 @reboot (cd /home/tord/run; ../git/src/app/tor -f moria1-orrc)
 }}}

 That's much lighter-weight than a systemd script, and avoids having
 anything run as higher privileges.
