The command to be displayed either in absolute path or relative path
depends on the way the user is calling initdb. I agree with the above
comment to keep this behaviour as-is, that is if the initdb is called using
relative path, then it displays relative path otherwise absolute path.

I feel the patch attached above handles this scenario.
