Inetd services such as sshd also become unavailable: shepherd accepts
connections but does not process them.

Excerpt of /var/log/messages:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost shepherd[1]: Removing service 'tor'... 
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost shepherd[1]: Stopping service tor... 
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost Tor[2]: Catching signal TERM, exiting cleanly. 
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost shepherd[1]: Service tor stopped. 
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost shepherd[1]: Service tor is now stopped. 
Jun 10 16:20:29 localhost shepherd[1]: Done. 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The workaround is to reboot the hard way:

  sudo guile --no-auto-compile -L /gnu/store/39li5qpiaj1lx89xgahlbgvfnjhpcpwg-shepherd-0.10.4/share/guile/site/3.0/ -c '(use-modules (shepherd system)) (sync) (pk "bye!") (reboot)'
