I'm currently maintaining a (normal) bridge from a machine running Vista. I've set ShutdownWaitLength to 30 minutes in torrc. When for some reason I have to press "Stop Tor" and get the message "Would you like to shut down gracefully and give clients time to find a new relay?" along with the red onion icon, what exactly does this mean? The icon seems to sit there forever, and I'm loath to evoke Stop Tor again if it means killing the connection in the middle of someone's conversation. So I'm asking, When the red onion is up does it mean that people are actually still using my bridge, or that Vidalia's just waiting for the shutdown timeout to run its course?
I suppose I can figure this out by some experimentation. But I'd rather not muck about locally to get a mental picture of what's going on in the network while someone out there is in the middle of using it. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
