Sometimes the PWD variable isn't inherited properly across shells. For instance, if you're running
ksh or
sh on top of
csh,
PWD will be inherited from your
csh environment but not updated properly, causing possible confusion in subsequent Perforce commands.
If you encounter such difficulties, check to be sure you've unset PWD in your
.profile or
.kshrc file. (If you're running
sh or
ksh as your login shell,
PWD will be managed properly by the shell regardless of any unsettings you've placed in your startup files; the confusion only occurs when variables are exported to subshells.)
