Hi,

Today I connected to my laptop running guix home over ssh as the first 
session and got greeted with a lot of shepherd logs from the 
on-first-login script from guix-home starting the user shepherd:



Starting service root...
Service root started.
Service root running with value #t.

variable GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to "detailed" and rerun the

this message.

As I don't want to see these messages I have patched the 
add-shell-profile-file procedure in gnu/home/services/shells.scm to send 
the output of the on-first-login-script into the void as a workaround.

The shepherd manual mentions a --quit option (there seems to be also 
--silent but not documented). Looking at the shepherd code though these 
don't seem to do anything which is also not mentioned anywhere causing 
even more confusion.
