Hi,

when using a Guix system, it hangs on reboot pretty much every time.

I've tracked it down (using the magic sysrq key) to two processes being left over: shepherd(obviously) and virtlogd.

The interesting part of the system config is:

     (service virtlog-service-type
              (virtlog-configuration
               (max-clients 10)))
     (service libvirt-service-type
              (libvirt-configuration
               (keepalive-interval 50)
               (keepalive-count 50)
               (unix-sock-group "libvirt")
               (tls-port "16514")))

Killing virtlogd using sysrq e makes shepherd immediately respawn it (!).

Isn't there some shepherd state that says "I'm supposed to shut down, don't keep respawning services" ?

For reference, the important sysrq keys are:
sysrq 9 to increase the log level to 9. After that, you will see a line printed every second with the process ids of the processes that are still there
  sysrq e       to send SIGTERM to all processes
  sysrq i       to send SIGKILL to all processes
  sysrq t       to see all "tasks"
