But on my Ubuntu desktop, I find a XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (note the final S) variable.  This could be confusing to someone not knowing well their way around. Was this a simple slip ? Or is there any more specific reason for this missing S ? 2) in the end it announces a second post about integrationg Shepherd with mcron to come up with something that could substitute systemd's timer funtionality. It would be interesting to read the second blog post
