Hello all

Is there a way to schedule the startup (I say: power on & boot) of a
Linux machine?

I'd like that every day my machine could start at a well-defined time
and shutdown later without human intervention.

Thanks for your suggestions.


Logic would suggest that the computer must already be powered up and booted
in order for a scheduled event to be started.

I use Fedora Core 4 and when I switch on it boots into Linux and then logs
into my user account without my intervention. If you used a similar setup
with an external time switch that would power up the computer at the
required time that may solve your problem.
