Comment (by sisbell):

 I went through the orbotservice code. It looks like it checks to see if
 the controlport file exists. If so it tries to connect to the tor control
 port. If the connection is successful, it does not attempt to restart Tor.

 I'm going to implement something similar in TOPL. I'll add an additional
 check to make sure the pid of the calling app and the pid of the tor
 process match. I'll also add an additional step to reload the conf, just
 in case the user has made changes to the torrc file.
