It's name is  parcimonie:
https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/code/parcimonie/
There is also a reimplementation as a bash shell script:
https://github.com/EtiennePerot/parcimonie.sh
which claims: "Unlike the original Parcimonie, parcimonie.sh
guarantees that each key refresh happens over a unique Tor
circuit even when multiple refreshes happen at the same time. "


Ciao, Gregor
