Hi Guix,
I'm defining a service, and the service works. However, when I reboot
the system, the service does not work, and I have to reconfigure the
system to make it work again. The detailed steps I'm following are as
attacked below. Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks,
Hebi

The detailed steps are as follows. I'm defining a simple one-shot
service that creates a file /tmp/hello:
(define (hello-shepherd-service config)
(list (shepherd-service
(provision '(hello))
(requirement '())
(start #~(make-forkexec-constructor
(list "touch" "/tmp/hello")))
(one-shot? #t)
(auto-start? #f)
(respawn? #f))))
(define hello-service-type
(service-type
(name 'hello)
(extensions
(list (service-extension shepherd-root-service-type
hello-shepherd-service)))
(default-value '())))
I add this service to my config.scm:
(services
(append
(list
(service hello-service-type))
%desktop-services))
Then I reconfigure the system:
sudo -E guix system reconfigure config.scm
Then *reboot*. After rebooting, I start the service via:
sudo herd start hello
However, there is no /tmp/hello created. Then I reconfigure the system again:
sudo -E guix system reconfigure config.scm
Now, I start the service
sudo herd start hello
And the file /tmp/hello shows up.
