Hi, the rtcwake command accepts a time without a date as an argument to --date, interprets it as meaning "today", then complains that the RTC doesn't go backwards. The string "tomorrow" can only stand alone and means midnight. This makes it difficult to specify "tomorrow 9:00" without date calculation code, like rtcwake -t `date +%s -d "tomorrow 9:00"`. Since it is clear that the desired time cannot be in the past, it would be nice to interpret a time without a date as either today or tomorrow, similar to how at(1) handles it.
