Пакет shepherd: Информация

The GNU Shepherd is a service manager written in Guile that looks after
the herd of daemons running on the system. It can be used as an "init"
system (PID 1) and also by unprivileged users to manage per-user
daemons-e.g., tor, privoxy, mcron. It supports several daemon startup
mechanisms, including inetd and systemd-style socket activation.
The GNU Shepherd is configured in Guile Scheme and can be extended in
the same language. It builds on a simple memory-safe and callback-free
programming model.
