Re: PHP coder needs Tor details
Um .. send the signal to the pid of tor?
(or do it the lazy way and do 'killall -SIGNAL tor' from the command line)
see the PidFile part of torrc. Something sensible like /var/run/tor.pid
comes to mind ... Then just 'kill $signal $pid'.
Note : to make this work, the command that executes the SIG_WHATEVER
will have to be either the same UID as what started TOR, or root .. a
security concern since I'm guessing you want to do some web $foo with it
and PHP.

Hello,
I am new here and am trying to utilize Tor by PHP from command line.
I have read all manual and all faq but it helped me very little.
With that information I've only achived to install tor and make PHP do
request through Tor.
Problem 1:
I start Tor by simply typing "tor" in command line(FreeBSD 6.x). When I
tried to stop it by SIGNALS form Tor man pages none of them worked.
Obviously SIGNALS are not ment to be passed to Tor through command
line(This MUST be in a man but it ISN'T!), while options with theirs
values ARE ok if passed to Tor through command line.
So let's firstly solve this - How to start and stop Tor through command
line?
After that I will pas question 2.
Thanks in advance!
