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 do to parent dir once and come back

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd:

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

If you are getting this error while installing or starting some service like

COMMAND:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

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

Then that error says that its not able to locate the (cwd) corrent working directory, so it happens because you’re still in the check directory which doesn’t exist anymore. Go to another directory, and you’ll see the warnings are gone.

so just send this command
COMMAND:

cd /

now try your command again
