I had experienced this bug with Gutsy and Hardy. It started working again
with Intrepid. I currently use it all the time... I have kernel
"2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" My
motherboard is an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe
I use the script below, called "MythWakeSet". Note that it clears the RTC
before writing to it.
#!/bin/bash
echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
echo $1 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
readabledate=`perl -e '$date=localtime('$1'); print $date;'`
echo "Next Wakeup will be at $readabledate"
exit 0
Usage:
MythWakeSet [time in epoch]
Example:
./MythWakeSet 1232075790
Output:
Next Wakeup will be at Thu Jan 15 19:16:30 2009
