cd /etc/init.d; sudo ./pdns restart # and watch the messages It has nothing to do with $PATH at all - just calling the script with a relative path argument, not an absolute. Of course yours fails too - but one doesn't want to put . into $PATH at all so if that would be the only issue personally I'd ignore it. I checked other init.d scripts, some few do use "$0 start" in their restart (most only use $0 in their usage message) - but none of them do a cd anywhere so it doesn't come to this problem.
