How to change the process default path?

[sunnut]

1. Start the elasticsearch with ./elasticsearch -d in the ES_HOME/bin
2. check the process id with ps -ef | grep elas
3. Check the path of the process with ll /proc/PID
4. the path is ES_HOME not the ES_HOME/bin

@sunnut this is intentional. See #39937 for details. Could you explain why you want to change the path?

[sunnut]

@imotov Oh. Because I change the es plugin code calling the C code(so file). And the so file used the relative path.So I must put the relative file in the same path with ES_HOME not put it in the ES_HOME

As @imotov mentioned, it is intentional we always launch with the working directory as ES_HOME. As this is working as designed, I hope you don't mind I close this issue.
