Take note of any way to pass a configuration file. - copy an existing shepherd service. Maybe start with gnu/services/audio.scm, because it=E2=80=99s pretty simple while not comp= letely trivial. - adjust the commands and names. In gnu/services/audio.scm you see the definition of mpd-service-type, which is a *system* service that 1) adds a user account, 2) does some one-shot preparation work, and 3) registers the mpd-shepherd-service. mpd-shepherd-service is a procedure returning a shepherd service. The service has a start and stop command. Adjust this for your service. mpd-shepherd-service refers to its argument =E2=80=9Cconfig=E2=80=9D, which= is supposed to be a Scheme configuration value. It=E2=80=99s just a record defined hig= her up as . mpd-config->file turns that Scheme value into a string that can live in a file as the mpd configuration file. This is pretty much all there is to it. Some services are simpler and don=E2=80=99t need any one-shot setup, nor do they need system user account= s, so they would just boil down to a shepherd service definition. --=20 Ricardo
