Very interesting. I've always had a soft spot for Lisp, and especially its offspring Scheme. And this uses Guile, an implementation of Scheme. I wonder if GNU Shepherd needs to run as PID 1? Or can it run as a service manager under another init system? Or even under another service manager? -- hendrik > > > Refs: > > [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ > > [2] https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2020/gnu-shepherd-user-services/ > > [3] https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/manual/shepherd.html > > [4] https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/shepherd/ > > [5] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2013-11/msg00065.html > > > > -- > al3xu5 > > Say NO to copyright, patents, trademarks and any industrial design > restrictions. > ________________________________________________________________________________ > Public GPG/PGP key > ID: 4096 bit RSA key F94CFE23 > Fingerprint: 59C6 9DC7 CD4B CF2F A190 E3DE 69C5 977B F94C FE23 > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
