An important part of preparing an operating-system
declaration is
listing system services and their configuration (veja Usando o sistema de configuração). System services are typically daemons launched when
the system boots, or other actions needed at that time—e.g., configuring
network access.
Guix has a broad definition of “service” (veja Composição de serviço),
but many services are managed by the GNU Shepherd (veja Serviços de Shepherd). On a running system, the herd
command allows you to
list the available services, show their status, start and stop them, or do
other specific operations (veja Jump Start em The GNU Shepherd
Manual). For example:
# herd status
The above command, run as root
, lists the currently defined
services. The herd doc
command shows a synopsis of the given
service and its associated actions:
# herd doc nscd Run libc's name service cache daemon (nscd). # herd doc nscd action invalidate invalidate: Invalidate the given cache--e.g., 'hosts' for host name lookups.
The start
, stop
, and restart
sub-commands have
the effect you would expect. For instance, the commands below stop the nscd
service and restart the Xorg display server:
# herd stop nscd Service nscd has been stopped. # herd restart xorg-server Service xorg-server has been stopped. Service xorg-server has been started.
For some services, herd configuration
returns the name of the
service’s configuration file, which can be handy to inspect its
configuration:
# herd configuration sshd /gnu/store/…-sshd_config
The following sections document the available services, starting with the
core services, that may be used in an operating-system
declaration.
