I've been working on understanding and applying to my first shepherd service.
There are maybe syntax errors, I did not look at it yet this way nor did
I run it.
I have some general questions which I will write into the code, not code
related questions. I will clean up, check up and fix and then ask about
the code.

Well coming back to it, I only have one question, but with this I can
give you a view on what I intend to do (and which I will fix).

There are many settings. The ones I think are the very basic ones which can
be used for a start for this service are:
port, base-path, a forced --syslog --informative-errors and finally the option
to add whatever you want to add when you read the man page.
There are more we can add later, but those are the very basic in my opinion.
What's your opinion?
