Unfortunately Guix overloads the word "service", where we have (a)
services that consist of structured modifications to an operating
system, and (b) shepherd services that define a process that will
run on the resulting system. Shepherd services cannot be used
directly, but need to be added to an instance of the
shepherd-root-service-type service. The easiest way to do this is
to use simple-service (documented in "(guix) Service Reference" in
the manual).
Putting it together, this should return a service object which
runs your redshift shepherd service:
(simple-service 'redshift-service 'shepherd-root-service-type
(list redshift-service))
I hope that helps!
Carlo
