Would something like the attached work? I placed the procedure directly
into the (shepherd service) module, since the point is to reduce
boilerplate, I thought it better to not having to specify (modules
'((shepherd support))) every time someone wants to use it, but I can
move it if you prefer.

Now that I have tried to actually implement it, I have noticed that I
need to do
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(command =E2=80=A6 #:environment-variables
(cons "HOME=3D/whatever" (delete "HOME=3D/" (default-environment=
-variables))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Since it seems last occurrence of an environment variable is used, not
first. Still works, but looks bit ugly I guess.
In case anyone runs into this bug, below is a full version I ended up
using (user, group, environment-variables are arguments to the wrapping
function).
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#:user #$user
#:group #$group
#:environment-variables
(let ((pw (getpw (or #$user (getuid)))))
(cons* (string-append "HOME=3D" (passwd:dir pw))
(string-append "USER=3D" (passwd:name pw))
(remove (lambda (x)
(or (string-prefix? "HOME=3D" x)
(string-prefix? "USER=3D" x)))
(or '#$environment-variables
(default-environment-variables)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It sounds... verbose. :) In practice it cannot be
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(command =E2=80=A6 #:environment-variables
(cons "HOME=3D/whatever" (default-environment-variables)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(command =E2=80=A6 #:environment-variables
(cons (string-append "HOME=3D"
(passwd:dir (getpwnam "whatever")))
(default-environment-variables)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I do however see your point, I simply need to get the timer =3D=3D cron
approximation out of my head. I am viewing it too much through "this is
cron" lenses. I just add this (setting the home) into my wrapper.
I am closing this bug, since there is nothing to do here.
Thanks for the explanation,
Tomas

Timers do not set =E2=80=98HOME=E2=80=99 (or any other environment variable=
) at all.
That is, they take what=E2=80=99s given in (command =E2=80=A6 #:environment=
-variables =E2=80=A6)
and don=E2=80=99t touch it.
It=E2=80=99s intentional, but the downside is that it can lead to more verb=
ose
timer definitions, where would have to explicitly do:
(command =E2=80=A6 #:environment-variables
(cons "HOME=3D/whatever" (default-environment-variables)))
or similar.
How does that sound?
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Given a timer executed under some user (via #:user "git" #:group "git" keyword arguments), the HOME variable is set to /. Is that correct? I get that it might be desirable for a root user, but for regular users that is surprising and causes (for example gitolite from the package of the same name) to not function: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 2025-03-23 21:09:06 FATAL: errors found but logfile could not be created 2025-03-23 21:09:06 FATAL: //.gitolite/logs/gitolite-2025-03.log: No such file or directory 2025-03-23 21:09:06 FATAL: die chdir //.gitolite failed: No such file or directory<<newline>> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 1. Is this intentional? 2. If yes, is this something you would be opened to changing? Or at least, if this is intentional, would it not be better to not set HOME at all instead of to a wrong value? For the time being, I will just do `HOME=~git' as a first line of all the scripts, but it is not great having to do that everywhere. Tomas -- There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.
