Really scripts should avoid called `cd` or `pushd`/`popd` wherever possible. It's a lot better to just work with absolute directories, i.e. as someone else pointed out: DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

  Running a script as sh script.sh returns only script.sh, thus, you've already got SELF, but you wouldn't get DIR.
