[tor-relays] Delete keys on reboot

[CJ Barlow]

If I run

rm -f /var/lib/tor/keys/* 2>&1 >> /home/[me]/reboot.txt

it  doesn't error (as long as I run it with sudo) but it also doesn't do
anything, checking *keys *shows it still contains files.

I read the RAM disk tutorial that is linked on the Tor Relay Security page,
what I don't understand is how the keys are created and stored solely in
RAM. When launching tor for the first time (say "sudo apt-get purge Tor"
then "sudo apt-get install Tor") the *keys* folder does not exist. Would I
just mount the whole /var/lib/tor folder in RAM instead or is there a
better way to do it?
