[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a guix home configuration with herd services (mcron jobs).
When I run guix home reconfigure, and the user herd daemon is
running, then I get the following errors:

herd: exception caught while executing 'load' on service 'root':
In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe

When I run the SAME reconfigure command, but BEFORE running
it executing herd stop root. THEN I do not get this error, and the services
do appear correctly.

Can you still reproduce it?  If so, could you share (1) all the output
of ‘guix home reconfigure’, in particular what showed up before
“exception caught”, and (2) the relevant part of your Home config?

Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.

Hello,

Here is what I got on my end when running guix home:

> Loading /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.
> herd: exception caught while executing 'load' on service 'root':
> In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe

I have same output when running ~herd load root~.

> > herd load root /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf
> Loading /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.
> herd: exception caught while executing 'load' on service 'root':
> In procedure fport_write: Broken pipe

And the content of sheperd.conf is:

> (begin (use-modules (srfi srfi-34) (system repl error-handling)) (apply register-services (map (lambda (file) (load file)) (quote ("/gnu/store/amvwc8ljsw4v6035q5hi9wlrj5kdi8qv-shepherd-emacs-server.scm")))) (action (quote root) (quote daemonize)) (format #t "Starting services...~%") (let ((services-to-start (quote (emacs-server)))) (if (defined? (quote start-in-the-background)) (start-in-the-background services-to-start) (for-each start services-to-start)) (redirect-port (open-input-file "/dev/null") (current-input-port))))

Watching the log of shepherd, I have only this line:

> 2022-04-26 18:27:48 Loading /gnu/store/p74aw384nqzlw73ccr0167lyj8vlj3mr-shepherd.conf.

Tell me what I can do to help you debug this.

IIRC, it should be fixed already, can you please check if it's still a
problem?
