Today I noticed that the QA webpage was 502 on bayfront.
I restarted qa-frontpage and bffe without problem.
When trying to do "herd restart nginx", the command did not show any
output and did not come back. Moreover, "herd status" also hang without
any output.

I could still ssh into the machine and then, thanks to Ludovic, reboot
with the magic command
  guix shell guile shepherd -- guile -c '(use-modules (shepherd system)) (sync) (reboot-kexec)'
