Hi,

This adds a configuration field to the home-shepherd to optionally invoke it
with --silent. See [1] for details. The option currently only actually works
as advertised when using the development branch of shepherd, for the current
version (v0.10.5) the --silent parameter is ignored.

I have set the default value to #f to not change the current behaviour.

For the documentation I am not perfectly happy with my description because the
behaviour is opposite of the description (Setting to #t causes no output to
stdout), maybe there is a better way to phrase this? Also is there a better way
to communicate that it only works when the auto-start? field is also #t?


Related: The daemonize? field is not documented and the accessor is not being
exported.

We should fix it.

Alternatively: “When true, the @command{shepherd} process does not write
anything to standard output.”

I would go as far as making it #t by default, WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

That sounds way better. I would also mention that this only does 
something when autostart? is also #t.

Personally I think these messages provide little value when they just 
inform me that all my home-services have started successfully 
(especially because this is also available in the log file anyway), so I 
would have no objection.

Not sure how others feel about them. Probably most dont see them at all 
when they launch directly into their de/wm.

Here is v2:

Changes:
 * Change default-value of the silent? field to #t.
 * Update the documentation. I added something that (hopefully) makes it obvious that the field is intended to be used together with the auto-start? field.
 * Added a second patch to document the daemonize? field and export the field-accessor. Should it warn about the issue when dameonize? is #f but auto-start? is #t blocking logins?

Dariqq (2):
  home: home-shepherd-configuration: Add silent? field.
  doc: Document home-shepherd-configuration-daemonize?
