> What is going on here? Any ideas? I'm completely lost at this point. a random stab: with custom service code, it's possible to put shepherd into a state where it doesn't respond to herd remote requests anymore (nor shutdown/reboot requests). try if your shepherd works fine otherwise, e.g. with other services. if not, then the issue might be in the code that starts your service.
unfortunately i can't remember anymore what caused this for me, and shepherd has also seen a few fixes since then. -- • attila lendvai • PGP: 963F 5D5F 45C7 DFCD 0A39 -- “The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence.” — H.L.
