Hi,

I would like to know if there is any way to schedule a timed wakeup from
sleep/suspend mode, like the "Wake the computer to run this job" option
in the Windows XP Scheduled Tasks. I'm using my desktop as a Personal
Video Recorder, and this works very well in Windows XP. Since I'm
running dual-boot with Fedora 7, I was thinking that I might try to
figure out how to do the same thing under Fedora. Is it even possible?


I use nvram-wakeup for my PVR.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nvram-wakeup

However I do it from complete power-off (my bootup is *really* fast).
I don't know if it will work for ACPI resume, however it's worth a try.

Also, if your motherboard is not on the list, you can run the little
scan app to try to figure out the BIOS values, however it is a bit of
a hassle to run/setup.

It looks like a nice package. According to the documentation, it
depends on your BIOS for waking up from suspend. If it doesn't work,
you may be able to hibernate instead of suspend. It takes a bit
longer for the system to come up, but it should be faster then a
cold boot.
