Commands which accept filenames as parameters normally pass the
filename directly to the OS. If you don't specify a path, the filename
will be interpreted relative to the current directory.

The simplest solution is to change the current directory before
running the program. One option is to replace the program with a
script which changes the directory before running the program.
