[Bug 987664] Re: allow to set restart/resume time

[ceg]

Thank you for the pointer to ConsoleKit.

Do I understand it correctly, there is no way to initiate a shutdown in
gnome that saves the session, without using the gnome-session buttons?

(I have been disapointed by gnome folks dumbing down functionality in other areas already,
they are not just providing easy options plus expert settings, but really removing options,
maybe it is time I remove gnome.)

Bug description:
  Linux provides a simple way to schedule a restart event that is
  particularly usefull in conjuction with initiating or scheduling a
  shutdown or suspend.

  rtcwake -m on -s <seconds-util-start-event>

  Howerever, just as the shutdown command it requires root privileges.

  The particular command given in the example above avoids that rtcwake does any switching into another power state (mode -m stays on).
  This allows that the power state fully handled by the regular installed power managment (userspace) tools, which is often more stable than the pure kernel/rtcwake, especially on resume.

  To test it, just schedule a wake event, then do a regular
  shutdown/suspend. Later, the real time clock will trigger the
  scheduled power up event and the machine comes back up.
