On Ubuntu, "service tor reload" should also work.
There's not a lot you can do about updates that require a restart (other than to restart).
You can automate the restarts though, install "unattended-upgrades" and "update-notifier-common", then check out the config files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.
Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Larry,
Sorry if this question has been answered dozens of times before. I have
a middle relay that has been operational since last summer. I wish to
make some alterations to my torrc file and make these changes
operationally active without stopping and restarting tor. Is this
possible? I experience a bit of down time whenever I up bandwidth,
change contact info, etc. I'm also disapointed when ubuntu sends
updates that require a server restart. What is the best method to
handle this on a stand-alone server?
You can use the -reload option after changing your torrc. The daemon
keeps running but reloads the config file.
