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

[jacopoL]

ceg: I set it to invalid because GNOME Session Shutdown is something
like a GNOME high-level equivalent of the 'shutdown' command, and I
think that you are looking for some different kind of multipurpose tool…
or maybe something to call just before gnome-session-shutdown (command
line) or qshutdown (GUI). Or have I misunderstood something?

Title:
  allow to set restart/resume time

Status in “consolekit” package in Ubuntu:

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.
