Announcing the initial release of shepherd-run!

Do you have experience with systemd and systemd-run? Do you wish you
were able to quickly and easily add a simple service to your (user or
system) shepherd instance?

Using the finest technologies from the 70's, written in gawk, I present
shepherd-run!

Want to build a derivation but don't care when it finishes?
shepherd-run -e 'guix build /gnu/store/...-drv'

Need to clear up some room in your store but don't want to dedicate a
terminal to waiting for it to finish?
shepherd-run -e "guix gc"

Want to spam your shepherd logs?
'shepherd run --exec yes'

Get ready, it's coming soon to a guix repository near you!
