| Jun 21, 2016 at 19:31 | comment | added | ThN | @Joan if I do that, how will it know to execute ds1302 program. Do I have to change directory before I run the command? | |
| Jun 21, 2016 at 19:28 | comment | added | joan | You have changed an absolute path to a relative path. Get rid of the dot. | |

@joan The reason I have . in the beginning is to execute ds1302 program. dot followed by absolute path /home/pi/script/.
