Hi,

today I noticed that when I stop my user shepherd (`herd stop root'), it
kills my Emacs instance.  I would like to point out that the Emacs
daemon is *not* managed by the Shepherd, I just start it using the
following in the `init.el':

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'server)

(or (server-running-p)
    (server-start))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do not have many user shepherd services:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Started:
 + dbus
 + pulseaudio
 + root
 + ssh-agent
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Emacs does not log anything into the terminal regarding the termination
cause, and shepherd does not mention anything at all.  Here is full log
from shepherd start to termination:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Would anyone be able to advice why this is happening (or at least how to
find out)?  And, more importantly, how do I prevent this?  I do *not*
want my Emacs coupled to my user shepherd.

Thanks a lot,
Tomas
