I've just read this thread [1] on the archive and I think it would be a great feature! Any update on the topic?! [1]: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-02/msg00132.html I would love to have some services started when I log in (tor, transmission-daemon, mpd, gpg-agent… you name them!) without having to rely on the root user and system configuration. One other nice thing would be to have something like systemd timers [2] to replace cron jobs. I use them to run things like mbsync and vdirsyncer. [2]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers I'm not sure that I'm able to write any (good) Guile code, but I can read some and discuss things, if that helps! Regards -- Tanguy
