This directory is empty when using guix home on a foreign distro= , meaning all executable paths would need to be absolute. This includes stu= ff like /usr/bin/ssh, /usr/bin/nice etc.. >=20=20 > My guess for the culprit was 1c30d5a6bfc5d48137f4bdcc271189a06fdc6ed3 , w= hich replaced the custom home-mcron-service-type with mapping it to mcron-s= ervice-type.=20 > The mcron shepherd service in old service type did not mess with the envi= ronment variables, the inherited one does: > #:environment-variables > (cons* "GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=3D0" > "PATH=3D/run/current-system/profile/bin" > (remove (cut string-prefix? "PATH=3D" <>) > (environ))) As a rule of thumb, I personally always provide absolute file names, as in #~(job =E2=80=A6 #$(file-append coreutils "/bin/ls") =E2=80=A6). I wonder what the preferred behavior would be. Restore PATH to whatever value it had when the user =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 process was started, = at the expense of making things harder to track/less reproducible? Should we leave it unset, possibly breaking programs that expect it to be set? Should we set it to =E2=80=9C/run/current-system/profile/bin:/usr/bin=E2=80= =9D or similar? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
