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

[Dr Gerard Bulger]

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

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.
