implementing it right now?
Only if you're certain that your bridge tester will '''never''' crash.
If you leave old Tor processes running, they will continue to occupy their
SOCKS and control ports. If you leave old Tor processes running and
delete their data directories, they will probably break far more
spectacularly. Don't leave old Tor processes running.
The âowning controllerâ feature is the easiest way to not leave old Tor
processes running. If you don't want to set one command-line option and
send two control-port commands, you'll have to find some other way to
identify still-running Tor processes and end them before your datadir-
reaper process makes them go truly crazy.
