Hi

No, a reboot is not necessary.
That was one of the reasons why we are using that methode,
because with nvram our bios would need the reboot.

I have tested the acpi methode with two different PCs here, which both 
supported it. But I guess it depends on your bios.
There should be a option concerning "wake on alarm" or something similar
in the bios setup.
