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.
Cheers,
Paul
