The Shepherd herds system and user services, keeping you in the loop: you configure it and extend it in Scheme.
The Shepherd is a service manager that manages the state and dependencies of services, providing the ability to start, stop, and restart them as needed.
With this version, after 21 years of development, it has established itself as a stable tool that meets user expectations.
Users can configure and extend the Shepherd through customized configuration files, and the Shepherd is built in its own language, Guile Scheme. This breaks down the boundary between users and developers and enables better service management.
