No, torsocks also has a wrapper script by the same name. And if the manpage for torsocks (the wrapper) is correct, it makes usewithtor redundant. I have no idea why the author created two of the same script. Looks like Maxim agrees, usewithtor should be removed. > torsocks is dead, needs a new maintainer and need to be imported to > torproject.org.
