Looks good to me. The same is needed for Grid Engine. Previously I
would use “env” with an installed profile for the same effect:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/bash
profile=/path/to/.guix-profile
exec /bin/env - PATH=/opt/uge/bin/lx-amd64 \
SGE_CELL=default \
SGE_ARCH=lx-amd64 …
GUIX_LOCPATH=… \
/bin/bash --init-file "$profile/etc/profile"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I guess the only thing that’s missing now is to activate an installed
environment.
