> Oh, that's interesting. I guess that behavior is caused by the
`SAVECONF` command?
I assume so, yes.
> It seems clear we don't want to save an ephemeral `SocksPort
/one/time/path` line to the torrc file. So I suppose one (somewhat
awkward) option, instead of using `SAVECONF`, would be to load the
settings into a string using `GETINFO CONFIG-TEXT`, remove the line with
the unix-domain SocksPort (that was created for this session only), and
then write the torrc file directly from JavaScript.
That is an interesting idea but possibly fragile, since it might be tricky
to figure out for sure which lines to filter out before rewriting torrc.
Kathy and I will think about this a little more.
