I think raspbian = debian
commands on systems with systemd:

either first: ~$ su
or put 'sudo' in front of the commands:

start tor # systemctl start tor
stop tor # systemctl stop tor
reload config # systemctl reload tor
stop + start tor # systemctl restart tor

at several tor instances:
# systemctl reload tor at 00
# systemctl reload tor at 01

restart machine # reboot
stop the machine # shutdown -h now
