I usually put something like:

os.chdir(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))

in the initialization of my service and reference other files (like config
files and log files) by relative directory locations:

opts = LoadConfig('../conf/server.cfg')       # Fetch server options

This works on any platform I use (win32 service or linux daemon).

HTH,

Norm
