Hello,

I tracked down the shepherd file for the service and put most of the
contents in ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm: https://paste.debian.net/1064476/
When starting shepherd with `shepherd` I get the following:

250:24 2 (main . _) Fri 08:09:37 AM 48:6 1 (open-server-socket _) In
unknown file: 0 (bind # #(1 "/run/user/1000…") #)
ERROR: In procedure bind: In procedure bind: Address already in use

What should I do from here?  Seems like I need to specify a separate socket
for the user instance of shepherd.

Thanks!

John
