Thank you for your responses. I reduced down the problem further. The following program, as run in a service, creates an *empty* file "/tmp/wtf", and runs for a minute:
(format (open-output-file "/tmp/wtf") "WTF???\n") (sleep 60) The following program, as run in the same condition, create an *empty* file and fails immediately: (with-output-to-file "/tmp/wtf" (display "WTF???\n")) (sleep 60) So I think the question is rather, whether Guile can actually work in a shepherd forkexec environment: I guess the standard ports are closed, so maybe guile panics when it is time to flush the data, even if the ports are redirected. Do you have an example of a service written in guile that works in this context? Best regards, divoplade
