[SHEPHERD]: Could not start manually as user

[Raghav Gururajan]

Hello Guix!

I need help with the following:

[1]

When I manually start shepherd as user, the get the error,

*** START ***
rg@secondary ~$ shepherd
Backtrace:
           3 (primitive-load "/run/current-system/profile/bin/shephe…")
In shepherd.scm:
    174:9  2 (main . _)
In shepherd/support.scm:
   388:20  1 (verify-dir _ #:secure? _)
In unknown file:
           0 (stat "/run/user/1000/shepherd" #<undefined>)

ERROR: In procedure stat:
In procedure stat: No such file or directory: "/run/user/1000/shepherd"
*** END ***

What is the correct way to rectify this?

P.S. efraim and lfam, starting a thread to discuss. :-)

Is there a way to automatically start shepherd as user, when I log-in?
Script or Cron?

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.
