| Scheduling automatic startup (and shutdown) in Ubuntu - 2012-05-14 16:26:00 |
| I liked the idea of having my Ubuntu machine startup in time for my arrival at the office. Here's how it's done: 1) Enable your RTC in the BIOS, setting your desired wake-up time 2) Use the rtcwake command to tell the machine when to wake up. Two variants of this: sudo rtcwake -s 54000 -m disk will wake the PC in 15 hours, afterimmediatelydoing a hibernate, or sudo rtcwake -s 54000 -m no will do a wake in 15 hours but nothing more. I like this latter way since I can then also schedule a shutdown using a package such as qshutdown I did toy with nvram-wakeup, which is useful for setting the RTC while you're running Ubuntu.
