[tor-relays] Help With Autoupdating Tor Software

[Keifer Bly]

Thank you, I will try doing this.

I also want to report an interesting find that happened to me.

So today, I had to shut down my router for it to install a firmware update (it’s a netgear router, this firmware update will hopefully resolve my issue of dropping connections randomly). 

Here’s what happened:

The firmware update ended up taking long enough for my relay to be removed form the conscious list.

However, I did not restart the tor relaying software on my computer while my internet was offline as my router was installing the firmware update.

When my relay reappeared, my uptime on both http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=db1af6477bb276b6ea5e72132684096eee779d30 and also https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/DB1AF6477BB276B6EA5E72132684096EEE779D30 jumped immediately back to “uptime: 5 days 3 hours” which had been my about uptime before I had to shut my router down.

My suspicion is that my posted uptime was retained because I did not restart the relay software while my router firmware was updating (it was offline for about 2 hours), but it thought I’d share this little thing I noticed.

Thank you.

No, bash can't find the $ command.
This is probably a copy-paste error.

Try running the lines of your script one at a time in the terminal.

Or just remove the "$ which brew" line, it doesn't do anything.
