mistake in instructions
The instructions for "Run a single Common Lisp script" list this as the command:
clisp -c -l ./your-daemon-or-script.lisp
But it should not have the -c or -l flags, which respectively compile a file without loading it, and emit an assembly language file. So this command does not run the script, it only compiles it.
$ ls
test.lisp
$ cat test.lisp
(print "hallo")
$ clisp -q -norc -ansi test.lisp
"hallo"
$ ls
test.lisp
$ clisp -q -norc -ansi -c -l test.lisp
;; Compiling file /home/vibhu/t/test.lisp ...
;; Wrote file /home/vibhu/t/test.fas
;; Wrote file /home/vibhu/t/test.lis
0 errors, 0 warnings
$ ls
test.fas test.lib test.lis test.lisp
