Dear Maintainer,

Tor (or tor with little t) doesn't reconnect automatically to Tor
network after I resume my computer from sleep. So instead I have to
run "sudo systemctl restart tor" to get it working again. Though, I
think it reconnects automatically after several minutes of computer
being on but I would like it to reconnect immediately after the
computer has resumed from sleep.

I'm not sure if tor uses systemd but so if it uses maybe there is some
'resume sleep' hook in systemd that could be used for tor to
reconnect. Please let me know if you think such change would cause
some other problems.

Thank you,
Joonas Kylmälä
