create service from shell script on ubuntu 14

I'm trying to create a service script in /etc/init.d to run my shell script wich is under /home/user !!

here a part of my script :

#! /bin/sh


 # PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script
 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/user/workspace/eattogether/app-server/app.server.core/target/wisdom
 DESC="chameleon service"
 NAME=chameleon.sh
 DAEMON=/home/user/workspace/eattogether/app-server/app.server.core/target/wisdom/$NAME
 DAEMON_ARGS="start"
 PIDFILE=/home/user/workspace/eattogether/app-server/app.server.core/target/wisdom/CHAMELEON.pid
 SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/spheros

 # Exit if the package is not installed
 [ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0

 # Read configuration variable file if it is present
 [ -r /etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME

 # Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables
do_start()
 {
     start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON --test > /dev/null \
         || return 1
     start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \
         $DAEMON_ARGS \
         || return 2

 }

 do_stop()
 {
     start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
     RETVAL="$?"
     start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/KILL/5 --exec $DAEMON
     [ "$?" = 2 ] && return 2
     rm -f $PIDFILE
     return "$RETVAL"
 }   

 case "$1" in
   start)
     log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
     do_start
     case "$?" in
         0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 0 ;;
         2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 1 ;;
     esac
     ;;

when I tr to execute this script i got an error : cannot access ./bin/*.jar: No such file or directory

here my other script : 

# Check if the RUNNING_PID file is not there already
if [ -f RUNNING_PID ]; then
    echo "[error] RUNNING_PID existing. Is this chameleon already running?"
    exit 1
fi

#CLASSPATH=$(JARS=("bin"/*.jar); IFS=:; echo "${JARS[*]}")
for i in `ls ./bin/*.jar`
do
  CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${i}
done

if test "$1" = "--interactive"; then
    "$JAVA" -cp ${CLASSPATH} ${JVM_ARGS} -Dchameleon.home=$dir org.ow2.chameleon.core.Main "$@"
else
    "$JAVA" -cp ${CLASSPATH} ${JVM_ARGS} -Dchameleon.home=$dir org.ow2.chameleon.core.Main "$@" &
    echo $! > RUNNING_PID
fi

any idea how to resolve this ?? tell the service to use the directory where the script is located ???

thanks jackman for the reply,

I did found a solution for this issue. I decided to use :

start-stop-daemon --chdir /path/to/my/script

this solved my problem.

You could add this to the daemon script:

cd -P "$(dirname "$0")"

But don't do this:

for i in `ls ./bin/*.jar`

do this instead

for i in ./bin/*.jar

and let the shell expand the filenames for you.

You should quote variables like "$this" not like ${this}
