Well, I found a nvram-wakeup project on Sourceforge. I managed to download it from elsewhere (since Sorceforge is currently down), and it looks from that like every manufacturer has a different method of implementing this. I looked through the ACPI specs I have downloaded, but didn't see anything that indicated a standardised way of telling the computer to wake up at a specific time. Patrick's code uses the RTC alarm but from that nvram-wakeup project, this is by no means the only method. What is more, the project says that sometime the wakeup time doesn't 'take' until after a reboot!
