Error in script
My script contains five different scripts(Perl and shell) calling one after another.
I am experiencing the below error everytime a script calling another script.

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

Although the scripts are working fine and doing what they are meant to do,I am getting these errors in the console.

Either the directory has been removed or you don't have the necessary permissions.

Error in script
Thanks for replying.

I guess by directory you mean the directory containing my scripts which is available.
I am executing the scripts as root and the permissions for all my scripts are
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root .
can you advice on this....

this can also happen when another process deletes this directory and recreates it, for eg. if you are in the dir notes in one shell window and another process deleted this directory and then created again with the same name at the same location. To resolve this just go to parent dir once and come back

Nope its not working for me.
Is there any other way I can remove this error.
And there is no process from my scripts that is removing and recreating my scripts directory.
