Here is a shell script that might work for BSD systems. I call it 'pswd'
Output looks like:

 barnett     4777 co           0:00 PWD=/home/kreskin/u0/barnett
 etc.

This only works is a processes current working directory is visible
with a ps wweuax command.


#!/bin/sh
# this script is like ps but prints out the current directory also
ps wweuax!| awk '
/PWD/	{
# print user PID TTY COMMAND
		printf "%8s %8s %2s %14s ",$1,$2,$7,$10 ;
		for (i=11;i<NF;i++)
		if (index($i,"PWD=") == 1)  printf "%s",$i ;
		printf "\n" ;
	}'
