How do I find a process's current working directory (CWD)?
Updated -
When coredumps are enabled and a process crashes and produces a core, the coredump will be written to the process's current working directory (CWD). A running process's CWD can be determined by looking at /proc/pid/cwd
, where pid
is the process's Process ID (pid). The file /proc/pid/cwd
will be a symbolic link to the process's current working directory.
