To be precise, GNU Shepherd is the continuation of an old init software
originally called GNU DMD, written in Scheme, that was intended to provide
init system to the Hurd before Guix and systemd existed (and happened to
already provide some of the best features of systemd (like dependency
graph, parallelism, etc.)
GNU dmd was never intended for the Hurd, it was far more general in
spirit. One of the goals was that each user should be able to manage
daemons, and give back some of the closed garden that is the init
system.
I also don't think that shepherd is a better name, dmd far better
describes the intent Wolfgang and I had when we wrote and designed it.
Infact, most of the commands now make little sense...
