Hey Ludo,

Thanks for explaining. That's probably what caused the issue, as I
killed a bunch of guix-daemon forked processes that I suspected to be
deadlocked.

Maybe the Shepherd should indeed kill the whole process group and
restart the service and its dependencies when the "guix-daemon" process
or one of its child is killed.

Thanks,

Mathieu
