My most pressing question is: how and when do you start your user's shepherd? Do I have to log into the machine, do I have to stay logged-in?

Since this is purely about organizing Shepherd services (with nothing specific about Guix), I'd add this to the Shepherd manual; then perhaps link to it from other places if relevant. > (ins)efraim@E5400 ~$ tree .config/shepherd/ > .config/shepherd/ > ├── init.d > │ ├── dropbox.scm > │ ├── fccache.scm > │ ├── gnupg.scm > │ ├── guix.scm > │ ├── kdeconnect.scm > │ ├── mbsync.scm > │ ├── syncthing.scm > │ └── vdirsyncer.scm > ├── init.scm > └── shepherd.log > > (ins)efraim@E5400 ~$ cat .config/shepherd/init.scm > (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?

My init.scm looks like: --8<---cut here---start->8--- ;;; Shepherd User Services (load "services.scm") (register-services emacs gpg-agent jackd ibus-daemon workrave) ;; Send shepherd into the background. (action 'shepherd 'daemonize) ;; Services to start when shepherd starts: (for-each start '(emacs gpg-agent ibus-daemon workrave)) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Thanks for sharing! Maxim
modular shepherd config
A while ago I split my personal shepherd init.scm into a bunch of files and I wanted to document it somewhere for others to see also. Any suggestion where I should put it? Shepherd manual? guix-cookbook?
