Raul,
You can set a method context in the manifest for the service. This is used
to establish the operating environment for the start, stop and refresh
methods.
Here is an example of one that I was using for experimental purposes:
<method_context working_directory='/var/tmp'>
<method_credential user='xxx' group='staff' />
<method_environment>
<envvar name='BOGUS' value='1' />
</method_environment>
</method_context>
If the working_directory is specified, startd will try to chdir to that
directory before execing the start method. If the working_directory is not
specified, startd will try to chdir to the home directory of the specified
user. If user is not specified, startd will assume that the start method
should be run as root. startd will check /etc/passwd to get the home
directory of root and try to chdir to that directory.
If the directory specified by any of these methods does not exist, you will
get a message like the one in your origiinal mail.
