I'm writing an init script for a daemon that needs to be started in a
particular directory, and I can't figure out how to do that with
start-stop-daemon.
It always seems to start the daemon in '/' regardless of the current
working directory when start-stop-daemon is invoked.

start-stop-daemon has a man page that explains it's options, including:
-d, --chdir path
chdir to this directory before starting the daemon.

Yes, I know.

That must be a recent addition, because it's not on my man page from
baselayout 1.12.13 (the most recent stable version).
I don't think I'll switch to an unstable baselayout just yet.
Thanks anyway.
