Nice use case. :-)

So ‘herd status rsync-debbugs’ exited after 160s without printing
anything? What does /var/log/messages say?
I tried something similar on my laptop but it seems to work.
Namely, I have:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (shepherd service timer))
(define gc-timer
(service
'(gc)
#:start (make-timer-constructor
(calendar-event #:minutes '(0))
(command '("/run/current-system/profile/bin/guix" "gc" "-F2G")
#:user "ludo"))
#:stop (make-timer-destructor)
#:actions (list timer-trigger-action)))
(register-services (list gc-timer))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And then I do:
sudo herd load root that-file.scm
I start, restart, reload, restart, etc. and it seems fine.
Thanks for trying it out!
