Subject: [PATCH 1/2] services: user-processes: Simplify and streamline ‘stop’ action.
Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2025 15:53:36 +0100

* gnu/services/shepherd.scm (user-processes-shepherd-service): In ‘stop’
action, remove ‘sleep*’, which is unnecessary when using Fibers, and
remove the ‘reap-children’ loop and its ‘waitpid’ call, which is
redundant with ‘waitpid’ calls made by shepherd itself and could cause
confusion.
