Hey @DenisMkS,

cd is not an executable in any of the shells that I know, it's a built-in command, and thus its usage cannot be captured by Snoopy. Snoopy can only capture actual executions of actual programs.

You can, however, use the message_format configuration directive to add the cwd (Current Working Directory) data field to your log entries, i.e. like this:

message_format = "uid=%{uid} tty=%{tty} cmdline=%{cmdline} cwd=%{cwd}"

Verdict: Not really a bug, more like a documentation issue, and most likely I should change the default logging message format to include the cwd data field, it'd probably kinda make sense at this point.
