From 2313102c2bc5161e0d82a753b0f614e539e37eca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Willemse Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2022 15:11:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [shepherd] Fix init file MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ‘current-filename’ is the real file name of the file, not the symbolic link that it's accessed through, so any relative references will be wrong. --- shepherd/.config/shepherd/init.scm.org | 33 +++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/shepherd/.config/shepherd/init.scm.org b/shepherd/.config/shepherd/init.scm.org index 05c9d6e..ef21166 100644 --- a/shepherd/.config/shepherd/init.scm.org +++ b/shepherd/.config/shepherd/init.scm.org @@ -1,13 +1,28 @@ [[info:shepherd][The Shepherd manual]] suggests that you use a single =init.scm=, but as is pointed out by this article about [[https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/gnu-shepherd-user-services/][GNU Shepherd user services]] it might be better to have the services in separate files so you can restart them individually if you make any changes to them.
