Hello, According to the page https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ this mailing list should be right for shepherd.
Shepherd could be a good replacement on other GNU/Linux distributions for the PID 1 and management of various services. It is now used in GuixSD, which is good. I am searching for a sample shepherd /etc/shepherd.scm to be run on other distributions. If anyone has such file, just a sample, for one service, with the recent shepherd version, let me know. It would be enough The provided file from wolfgang is no go by default. Further, I have seen difference between version 0.3 and 0.3.1, which, which I have run with: ./configure --prefix= --datarootdir=/usr/share If it is to be used on other distributions, datarootdir is a must, as otherwise it goes to /share. I guess the configure is missing and tar.gz package is not yet finished for other systems to adopt it. shepherd is installed in /bin, maybe should be in /sbin similarly like /sbin/init. My configure also gave me 2 versions of files: diff /bin/shepherd (0.3.1) /media/out/bin/shepherd (0.3) 5,6c5,6 < (set! %load-path (cons "/sources/shepherd-0.3/modules" %load-path)) < (set! %load-compiled-path (cons "/sources/shepherd-0.3/modules" %load-compiled-path)) --- > (set! %load-path (cons "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0" %load-path)) > (set! %load-compiled-path (cons "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0" > %load-compiled-path)) I guess it should by default put "/sources/..." in load-path but rather as in the 0.3 version "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0".
