Hi!
Ever since Efraim's excellent blog post
(https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/gnu-shepherd-user-services/) I have been
willing to try Shepherd's User Services (actually I wanted to try it for much
longer but it felt too daunting to dive in), and thanks to a nice discussion
on IRC this morning I finally gave it a go.
We were wondering it if would be feasible to add
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [[ ! -S /run/user/$UID/shepherd/socket ]]; then
shepherd
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to /etc/skel/.bash_profile, and maybe even add
/etc/skel/.config/shepherd/init.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (shepherd service)
((ice-9 ftw) #:select (scandir)))
;; Load all the files in the directory 'init.d' with a suffix '.scm'.
(for-each
(lambda (file)
(load (string-append "init.d/" file)))
(scandir (string-append (dirname (current-filename)) "/init.d")
(lambda (file)
(string-suffix? ".scm" file))))
;; Send shepherd into the background
(action 'shepherd 'daemonize)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
that I got from Efraim's blog post. For starters, I have put this
in the Shepherd manual. WDYT?
Greetings,
Janneke

Finally pushed; I changed ‘%user-cache-dir’ references to
‘%user-log-dir’:
