Hi,
After updating my system (emerge -u system) I'm getting these strange errors when calling any init script:
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

* status: started |
It doesn't seem to adversely affect service startup or shutdown. I have performed source /etc/profile && env-update to no avail.. anyone seen this before? |

My guess is the service is still running but because of the update some file/directory is no longer there or has moved. Can you do a
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
|
and see if that cures it?

| Having had the problem. For me it was a simple permission thing. Simply go to your root directory, and run the command again |

I have exactly the same... it started after I unmerged resin
It has nothing to do with the package itself. a lot of stuff is not working anymore...
In what package should getcwd be in?

I had the same problem. I was in my vmware folder and I deleted a VM. Vmware also deleted the folder that I was consoled into. I just changed directories and everything perfect.

Like he said do this:
| Code: |
cd /root
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart
|
Works fine. |

Well, it is even more simple....
done...
It is really strange, the error appeared while I was in my /usr/portage/ directory. Changing back to the root directory solved it. |
