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.

Not directly relevant to the question, but it could address similar problems: my ThinkCentre can have three different boot selections:
1. On timed wakeup, it has one order of boot devices
2. On resume from power failure, and has another order of boot devices
3. On ordinary powerup, it has a third.

This would allow, for example, a box to boot Windows by default in normal startup, but having been shut down at the end of the working day, it could boot Linux at, oh, 04:00 and back itself up, then shut down again.
