Tim I have a cronjob that has this command:
0 0 * * * apt-get update -y &> /dev/null && apt-get install tor -y &> /dev/null

If there is a new version of Tor and am asking that it be
installed. My cronjob is not working, if it's not picking up the
latest version of Tor. Can you recommend a change to my cronjob?

I just installed this relay about 5 days ago and created the script
two nights ago, so I'm not sure what you mean by "Perhaps it's
because you changed your address or orport on 2016-02-18".

I'll monitor things and see if anything changes, but I'm more
concerned that my cronjob is not working. I also did a "service tor
reload" to see, if anything changed and I still show 0.2.4.27 as my
Tor version via the arm program.
