It provides a replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any other init) with a dependency-based system with a convenient interface. The GNU Shepherd may also be used by unprivileged users to manage per-user daemons (e.g., tor, privoxy, mcron, etc.) It is written in Guile Scheme, and is configured and extended using Guile. The GNU Shepherd is developed jointly with the GNU Guix project; it is used as the init system of GuixSD, GNU=E2=80=99s advanced GNU/Linux distr= ibution. Before this release, the GNU Shepherd was known as GNU dmd, the daemon-managing daemon. http://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ =E2=80=A2 Download Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/dmd/shepherd-0.3.tar.gz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/dmd/shepherd-0.3.tar.gz.sig Note: source code will eventually be available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/shepherd.

First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify shepherd-0.3.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.15 Makeinfo 6.0 Help2man 1.47.3 =E2=80=A2 Changes since version 0.2 (excerpt from the NEWS file) ** GNU dmd becomes the GNU Shepherd The GNU Shepherd herds your daemons! See http://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/#history for details. As a side effect, many incompatible changes were made: - The =E2=80=98dmd=E2=80=99 command was renamed to =E2=80=98shepherd=E2= =80=99. - The =E2=80=98deco=E2=80=99 command was renamed to =E2=80=98herd=E2=80= =99. - The default system-wide config file is now /etc/shepherd.scm. - The default per-user config file is now ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm. - The special =E2=80=98dmd=E2=80=99 service is now called =E2=80=98root= =E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99. Thus, instead of: deco load dmd foo.scm you would now type: herd load root foo.scm - Guile modules now live in the (shepherd =E2=80=A6) name space. ** =E2=80=98herd status=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98herd detailed-status=E2=80= =99 assumes the =E2=80=98root=E2=80=99 service That is, =E2=80=98herd status=E2=80=99 is equivalent to =E2=80=98herd sta= tus root=E2=80=99. ** =E2=80=98herd help=E2=80=99 returns a meaningful help message ** =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 stops itself when it receives SIGINT This is what happens when =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 is running as PID 1 = on GNU/Linux and ctrl-alt-del is pressed (see ctrlaltdel(8)). ** =E2=80=98halt=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98reboot=E2=80=99 connect to the sys= tem socket unconditionally ** =E2=80=98herd=E2=80=99 uses a non-zero exit code upon errors ** The =E2=80=98root=E2=80=99 service has a new =E2=80=98eval=E2=80=99 ac= tion ** Basic man pages are now provided ** =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=80=99 has new #:group and #:user= parameters ** =E2=80=98make-forkexec-constructor=E2=80=99 has a new #:pid-file param= eter ** (shepherd services) now exports =E2=80=98make-actions=E2=80=99 and =E2= =80=98provided-by=E2=80=99 ** =E2=80=98shepherd --pid=3DFILE=E2=80=99 writes FILE atomically ** The communication protocol is now entirely sexp-based (see the manual) ** =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 is more robust to misbehaving clients ** Cross-compilation is now supported ** The build system uses =E2=80=9Csilent rules=E2=80=9D by default ** Internally, the coding style of various parts has been improved Please report bugs to bug-guix@gnu.org.
