[tor-relays] Init.d script for two simultaneous Tor instances

I prefer "ps aux | grep tor" and then you can seem them running side by
side. You can also seem them on htop, which I prefer over top. My init.d
script sets a different log file to each instance, allowing you to
monitor the logs of each independently. If you are clever though, you
could do something like

alias torlogmon='watch -n 10 "cat /var/log/tor/notices.log | tail -8 &&
echo \"***************\" && cat /var/log/tor2/notices.log | tail -8"'

and watch the logs of both at the same time. If you want to use arm you
will have to set arm up for each instance. I've been moving away from
arm in favor of other tools, one of which is "speedometer", a nifty
package that allows you to monitor bandwidth usage remotely. If Tor is
the only thing on your machine, you get basically the same thing as the
arm graph.

alias speedometer="speedometer -l -m 1048576 -rx eth0 -c -tx eth0"

Where 1048576 is the maximum bytes/sec value that will be shown in the
y-axis on the linear graph. Modify depending on your utilization. I
prefer working with powers of 2 with this. The man page is useful of course.
