[tor-relays] Speed up of reconnections after IP Address change

[Rana]

Such script is one typical entry that I would put on the small relay operator Wiki (see my earlier post)

I would be interested in such a script to SIGHUP each time IP changes if anyone makes one!

after 24 hours. It is somehow sad to see 1.400 connections drop to almost none. After the change it takes 20 minutes until my OR notices this (our IP Address has changed from ...). It than takes another hour until the connections start to actualy rebuild. This means it takes more than an hour (every per day) to reach the normal operating Mode.

No, sorry, new relay details are only published in the tor consensus every hour.

To reduce the 20 minute delay, you could write a script that issues a SIGHUP
(reconfigure) to tor when your address changes.
