Subject: Power on at specified time.
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 12:12:14 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1045609934.2900.3.camel@laptop-linux.cunninghams> (raw)
Hi all.
For a while now I've been wanting to get my laptop to automatically
power on at a particular time of day. I know it's capable of it because
when I do a BIOS upgrade, it powers off and then powers back up a few
seconds later. Would you expect this functionality to be activated
through ACPI, and in particular through the /proc/acpi/alarm interface?
I've tried writing a date & time to /proc/acpi/alarm, but the computer
just freezes (and doesn't unfreeze at the time I chose!).
Regards,
Nigel
