Still no luck. Any other suggestions? Anybody? BIOS updates? Had enough with this and left it yesterday evening. On the morning it was up. It came to me that system clock is using UTC time :) So I made a new testscript. --- #!/bin/bash delay=3 now=`date +%s` nexttime=`expr $now - 7200` #take back a couple of hours nextboot=`date -d 1970-01-01 UTC $nexttime sec +$delay min +%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S` echo $nextboot /proc/acpi/alarm echo $nextboot /proc/acpi/alarm echo Now `date +%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S` echo Start time `cat /proc/acpi/alarm` echo Restart in 5 sec shutdown -h -t 5 now --- After 3 minutes it was running again. But this aproach (replace now with vdr shutdown info) creates a (one hour) problem when summer time comes. Doesnt it? Oh, and there is no bios for the board (well there is but just the one I already have). Here is a quote from the manual: APM Support These AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.11.2 of the Advanced Power Management (APM) specification. Power management features are implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and Suspend power management modes are supported. Power to the hard disk drives and video monitors can be managed by this AWARD BIOS. ACPI Support Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0b of Advanced Configuration and Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the ACPI specification, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba. ACPI is selectable between 1.0 and 1.0b. Is there some significant difference? \\Kartsa ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

What I had not tried is adding a second line of cat acpifile/proc/acpi/wakeup to halt.local to have the line twice (as mentioned by Detlef). If I use my testscript which uses a 2 hours old tile it seems to work but not with FC VDR package script. Maybe there is still something I am over looking.

What different wakeupmethods are there? I've built a few vdr boxes and
I've been forced to use different motherboards and they do not all
work the same. I've used nvram-wakeup on some and acpi on others when
nvram-wakeup has not worked. Now I have Biostar 945GZ 775 SE with
which I'm having trouble in starting on timers.
What problems? Be spezific.
At the time writing I was not really asking help, just qurious what
methods people use. This is why I did not put any detailed info. Maybe I
should not have mentioned about problems I at that time.
Now I see that I should have added more info because I'm not yet happy
with my settings. I would have used acpi and it was my first attempt but
the board did not wake up.

cat $wakeupfile /proc/acpi/alarm

But it does not wake up. And this is not a very old mb. So I assume I am
doing something wrong or not doing something I should.
I got it to boot up using nvram-wakeup with reboot option (after guess
helper). But as said nvram should be obsolete and replaced by acpi.
On another mb (4CoreDual-Sata23) I used
---
newtime=$(($1 - delay*60 )) # delay minutes earlier
echo $newtime /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
---
which did the trick.
On biostar there were no /sys/class/rtc

Re: [vdr] Wakeup methods
[EMAIL PROTECTED](Lars Bläser) 10.02.08 14:59 you could use the WOL feature of the system the vdr sends the wakeup time to a system thats always on (linux router?) and this machine sends a WOL packet to your vdr http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=694894 (-babelfish) WOL needs more standby power than the simple RTC! You need power for LAN switch too. The second continously running PC wastes power too. As more componentes are involved as more can/will break. It had never been long term successful to correct a broken software with a hardware patch. use ACPI wakeup.

Re: [vdr] Wakeup methods
There is also a concept where you set the RTC-Alarm time to a fixed value and let a script calculate what time to set the RTC to to wake up at the correct time. Then after wakeup the RTC is readjusted. It's a bit crude and I can't recall the commen name of this concept. I havn't got it working on my system though. It works when started on the commandline no when vdr triggers it. By Benjamin Kartsa schrieb: What different wakeupmethods are there?
