Do the new timers from the Shepherd development branch do that?

Hello,
I created a new service-type which (among other things) extends
mcron-service-type to register few jobs. It seems to work, with one exception.
When I deploy the configuration, the mcron jobs are not registered. They are
not being executed and they are not visible in the output of `herd

Dear Guix,
I had stop using `home-mcron-service` some times ago, for I had
a problem with my home shepherd. Now that this problem seems to be
fixed 爛, I've tried to re-enable `home-mcron-service` and, while it runs,
it cannot find the commands to execute!?
I used to have this config:

Hi guix !
I'm trying to config a mcron service type for mbsync, something
simple, but there are few example on the web for the new
home-mcron-service-type. I try something like this :
(use-modules (gnu packages mail)
(gnu packages tls)
(gnu home services mcron
Quick update:
I was able to get my mcron working in a way that seems to be the proper
"guix home" way. It just took a lot of re-reading, trial & error.
The downside to my solution is that I had to wrap my entire mailsync
module in a #~(job #$(program-file)) gexp.

Hey guys,
I am trying to appreciate how to set up a guix home mcron using a
separate module that I wrote that exports the job.
My config lives in ~/.config/guix/home/config.scm
My cron module lives in ~/.config/guix/home/cron/mailsync.scm
The mailsync module export this:
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
That makes sense. I'll try it later and report back.
Thanks!
run as a mcron job, and I tried:
(define my-fn-job
#(job "* * * * *"
my-fn))
But that doesn't work. At reconfigure time, Guix complains about not
knowing the variable 'my-fn':
Unbound variable: my-fn
I tried wrapping it in a '(with-imported-modules ...)' call, bu

Is that a reasonable solution?
I’m (very) late to the party but what you did looks like the right thing
to me.
No worries, I still find the sanity check helpful.
PS: Good to see you’re building interesting stuff with this!
Me too :) I've really enjoyed working with the Guix and mcron building

Hi Guix,
I'm looking for help or tips on debugging an mcron job. My goal is to run
a site-specific telemetry script that I have packaged [0] in my channel.
The script collects some information and sends it to a remote server. I am
trying to run the script as an mcron job via a service I
Yes, Vixie syntax is supported there too!
See "(mcron) Vixie Syntax".
But if you can grasp the Lisp syntax instead, I'd recommend you for it, it's
much more flexible. After all, it's the sole raison-d'être of mcron with regard
to cron :)
I think your solution to "every N min
Many thanks, Pierre.
Can one also mix Vixie-style things in `~/.config/cron/` ?
It probably doesn't matter since I think I've figured out mcron native
syntax. I was looking everywhere in "(mcron) Top" for an example of "do
X every N minutes", but finally figured out that th

Not sure I can help much here because I personally run help cron from my user

Maybe you could try that for the user-level jobs and see if it works in that

This is close, but very slightly wrong. `mcron-service-type` isn't
a procedure, so you can't call it like that. You have to use
`service`:
