It's a good example. But my main problem is running `shepherd` as normal user automatically. For now, I've to run it manually.

It depends on you environment. I'm looking to find a way to configure the `shepherd` with `config.scm` (system reconfigure ...). The startup script is a workaround but it has some problems, for example, multi-login/multi instance of shepherd and so on. Do you have any idea?

I don't know if shepherd does the same thing, but it would be nice. If not you could check for the existence of the socket manually before starting. One way to get user configs in guix is using the guix-home-manager, but that is experimental. It misses a lot of configuration modules, and takes a very radical approach by making the home directory a guix profile. > > > On Fri, Oct 4, 2019, at 6:49 PM, Gábor Boskovits wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Hamzeh Nasajpour <h.nasajpour@pantherx.org> ezt írta (időpont: 2019. > > okt. 4., Pén 10:31): > > > Thanks for your reply. > > > > > > It's a good example.
