Can you provide explicit sequence of events/commands I need to execute for such graceful shutdown? Eg I need to reset my router - should I stop the tor service from Linux command line, , then check in tor log if it has finished its graceful shutdown, then reset router, then start tor again? Ir is there no need to even check the log? _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
