Hello,
I am trying to use the new shepherd timers in my guix configuration. I
got it working with some help on IRC, except I cannot figure out how to
configure the extra action. Shepherd's manual gives this example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define updatedb
(service
'(updatedb)
#:start (make-timer-constructor
;; Fire at midnight and noon everyday.
(calendar-event #:hours '(0 12) #:minutes (0))
(command '("/usr/bin/updatedb"
"--prunepaths=/tmp")))
#:stop (make-timer-destructor)
#:actions (list timer-trigger-action)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However I cannot figure out what to put into the (actions) field of the
shepherd-service record. Documentation says it should be instance of
shepherd-action, however I have no idea how to turn the
timer-trigger-action into it. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tomas
