Do the commands realpath or readlink (with or without -f) help here at all?
Or perhaps the Cwd module from perl:
I have tried the following where dpi.txt is a file in /home/user_name
All of these result in /home/user_name/dpi.txt
The perl code output looked a bit odd be seemed to print the same thing. The readlink command gave the same results a realpath.
It looks like findmnt may give me what I need. Skipping allot of stuff,
This seems to indicate that /home is located on /dev/sdb3/01_centos , which is /mnt/linux_data/01_centos which is expected.

Is it unsafe to put your own home directory (a regular user) in your search path? I am writing useful shell scripts, but don't have the permissions to put them in /usr/bin. (Korn shell)

Hi,
Is there a command that tells you right away the current working directory? I know the command "pwd", but that one gives the full path.

HERE
Thanks,

realpath
REALPATH(3) BSD Library Functions Manual REALPATH(3)NAME
realpath -- returns the canonicalized absolute pathname
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char *
realpath(const char * restrict pathname, char * restrict resolvedname);
DESCRIPTION
The realpath() function resolves all symbolic links, extra ``/'' characters and references to /./ and /../ in pathname, and copies the
resulting absolute pathname into the memory referenced by resolvedname. The resolvedname argument must refer to a buffer capable of storing
at least MAXPATHLEN characters.
The realpath() function will resolve both absolute and relative paths and return the absolute pathname corresponding to pathname.
RETURN VALUES
If resolvednamed is NULL, it will be allocated and the returned pointer can be deallocated using free(3). The realpath() function returns
resolvedname on success. If an error occurs, realpath() returns NULL, and resolvedname was not allocated by realpath, it will contain the
pathname which caused the problem.
ERRORS
The function realpath() may fail and set the external variable errno for any of the errors specified for the library functions chdir(2),
close(2), fchdir(2), lstat(2), malloc(3), open(2), readlink(2) and getcwd(3).
SEE ALSO getcwd(3)STANDARDS
realpath() first appeared in X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (``XPG4.2'') and is part of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
The realpath() function call first appeared in 4.4BSD. In NetBSD 7.0 the function was updated to accept a NULL pointer for the resolvedname
argument.
BUGS
This implementation of realpath() differs slightly from the Solaris implementation. The 4.4BSD version always returns absolute pathnames,
whereas the Solaris implementation will, under certain circumstances, return a relative resolvedname when given a relative pathname.
