Is there a time out in shepherd service start/checks, or is the
"service could not be started" simply a result of when a service
encounters a fatal error and quits?

“Service could not be started” just means that the ‘start’ procedure of
the service returned #f or threw an exception.
To debug this, you’d have to check the service’s log files, or use
#:log-file to redirect the stdout/stderr to a log file.
HTH!

Thanks.
Observed and tried yesterday: when I turn on logging and make the
output more verbose, the log file created is root:root and
therefore not accesible by the internal logging mechanisms of the
gnunet subsystems which as a consequence throw errors that they
can not log to this file.
#:user and #:group is now set, and some more changes which I
didn't publish so far.
There are some gnunet errors, so I have to go all the way back
1.5 - 2 years and see if this was fixed at some commit and have
to backport the fix 0.10.1 if these errors are caused by
gnunet. But seeing that it's functional without system service
it's unlikely that this is the case.
