Rather than starting & killing Tor with crontabs, I think you can use AccountingStart and AccountingMax config settings to achieve this. https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual-dev.html.en That way you can get Tor to *start* at the right time (with AccountingStart) - the only issue I can see is getting it to stop at the right time. AccountingMax will stop Tor when the number of *bytes* has been reached, so if your line was being used flat out, this would be easy to calculate based on the your line's data rate. You might need to have a play with a low AccountingMax setting and see what happens. When you first launch a relay it won't get much traffic but it will gradually increase over the coming weeks.
