Replying to [comment:3 Bry8Star]:
> During a discussion in irc channel on this subject, 'arma' said, the
windows port/edition of tor currently (Mar 15, 2011) does not understand
the 'hup' signal to restart tor. So that needs to be fixed.
That can't be fixed -- it's a problem with Windows. Fortunately, Vidalia
doesn't need signals to make Tor reload, since it uses the control port to
speak to Tor.

Also probably not what we want, a) since Tor is typically started by
Vidalia, not as a service, and b) since again Vidalia gets to use the
control port.
> A portable perl (like, Strawberry Perl) can be used to run the perl
script mentioned by 'arma', in windows too, then a windows batch can be
used to run that script through perl for now, before a GUI is made, if the
windows tor at least able to handle such scheduling options.
Yes, that should work right now, but it will take some playing around with
the scripts. You'll want to tell Vidalia to pick a particular control
password for Tor (see Vidalia's Advanced window), and then you'll need to
teach your script that password.
