[jira] [Created] (DAEMON-264) Change current working directory to /
when daemonising
David North created DAEMON-264:
----------------------------------
Summary: Change current working directory to / when daemonising
Key: DAEMON-264
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-264
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Jsvc
Affects Versions: 1.0.10
Environment: Linux
Reporter: David North
Priority: Minor
It's good practice for daemons to change their current working directory to / as this ensures they don't prevent file systems being mounted/unmounted by having a cwd wherever their controlling terminal was when it spawned them.
It would be great if jsvc could chdir to / when detatching from its controlling terminal.

Mladen Turk resolved DAEMON-264.

Fix Version/s: 1.0.11

So chdir is always executed.

[jira] [Commented] (DAEMON-264) Change current working directory to
/ when daemonising
Posted by "Nikola Petrov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Nikola Petrov commented on DAEMON-264:
--------------------------------------
Hi
Please if you change this in the next release by default, consider adding an option to specify the current working directory. We are currently using jsvc for our java processes and they make some assumptions about the current directory structure(for example configs file are taken from relative paths). This is currently easy to fix by cd to the right directory but it won't be if you change it by default.
Best, Nikola
