Changing Working Directories In Nashorn Scripting

Assigning a directory name to the $ENV.PWD variable: $ENV.PWD="[DIR_NAME]" changes the working directory for the next command:

The ls command will print the contents for directory specified earlier:

#!/usr/bin/jjs -fv
print('Tmp Directory');
$ENV.PWD='/tmp';
$EXEC('ls -al');
print($OUT);
print('Root Directory');
$ENV.PWD='/';
$EXEC('ls -al');
print($OUT);
