Re: [tor-relays] tor relay shutsdown

For what it's worth, I previously had similar behaviour.

It turned out it was against the host's AUP (I hadn't spotted it in there), and when they detected it they automatically shut the system off (it was an OpenVZ slice so fairly easy for them to monitor).

Ah! This might be the problem. Tor is almost using 100% of the CPU.
Is there a way to reduce the CPU usage? Or should I upgrade the server?
