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

[ceg]

** Description changed:

- Linux provides a simple way to schedule a restart event.
+ Linux provides a simple way to schedule a restart event that is
+ particularly usfull in conjuction to initiating or scheduling a shutdown
+ or suspend.
  
  rtcwake -m on -s <seconds-util-start-event>
  
- This particular command avoids that rtcwake does any switching into another power
- state (mode -m stays on).
- It allows the power state to be handled by the regular installed power managment
- tools, which is more stable especially on resume.
+ Howerever, just as the shutdown command it requires root privileges.
  
- Just schedule the wake event, then do the regular shutdown/suspend.
- Later, the real time clock will trigger the scheduled power event
- and the machine comes back up.
+ 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.

  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.
