Description
Description
When the home directory for the user is not actually being mounted on /Users, the current path logic doesn't pick this up.
Usually happens when you have a second drive that you have moved all users over to.
Setup
No configs, but I have created a pull request that fixes it.
- on-prem machine
- VM (Virtualbox, KVM, etc. please specify)
- VM running on a cloud service, please be explicit and add details
- container (Kubernetes, Docker, containerd, etc. please specify)
- or a combination, please be explicit
- jails if it is FreeBSD
- classic packaging
- onedir packaging
- used bootstrap to install
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Trying to use any of the service.* commands to control service operation.
Expected behavior
Should work! :-D

Research direction
Start by reproducing the service.* commands on macOS when the user's home directory is mounted outside /Users, then trace the path-resolution logic used for LaunchAgents. Done means service operations work with a relocated home directory; the issue mentions an existing pull request that may contain the relevant fix.
