ClydeBoy is listed three times on Atlas. It appears to be running from the same server, as the IP/port are the same for all 3 nodes, however the fingerprint is different for each instance on Atlas:

I'm guessing that during your testing and config changes, the existing Tor processes weren't getting killed and so you wound up with multiple Tor processes fighting for attention and resources. That's not going to work very well. ;-)
I'm not sure how you installed Tor. For Ubuntu or Debian, I normally follow the instructions here:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu
If you go this route, you should wind up with Tor installed as a proper service, which can then be controlled via the standard methods, like:
sudo service tor start sudo service tor stop sudo service tor restart
This will also take care of running the Tor process as the debian-tor user.
