Keifer,
I think your Cron script is problematic.
The script:
0 0 1 * * apt-get update apt update && apt install -y --only-upgrade tor
killall tor tor
Would kill Tor and since you don't have "&& tor" after the "killall
tor", it is not restarting it.
But I'd advise just giving up on cron. For automatic updates, you should
look into unattended-upgrades instead of using cron.
Also, forcefully killing Tor using cron isn't a good idea because it
would terminate circuits using your relay instead of gracefully stopping
them.
Disclaimer: I don't run Debian on my relays. I run FreeBSD relays. I
have used Debian on my desktop briefly in 2012 before switching to
FreeBSD as a desktop. I have never **really** run Debian as a server so
I can't help you further with unattended-upgrades.
