Scheduled Startup & Shutdown under Linux
Running MacOS 8.1 on my PowerMac 7300, I can use the "Scheduled Startup &
Shutdown" section of the "Energy Saver" control panel to set my PowerMac to
automatically boot up and shut down and specified times. I have
successfully used cron to get Linux to automatically shut down at a
specified time, but I haven't figured out how to get it to boot
automatically. I have my PowerMac setup to boot into Linux by default, and
I if boot into MacOS then shutdown, it will automatically boot at the
specified time, and will boot into Linux. Unfortunately, when I shut down
from Linux, the automatic boot doesn't happen. I'm guessing that MacOS
does something when it shuts down to make the automatic boot happen, and
Linux doesn't do this.
Does anybody know if there is a way to get my PowerMac to automatically
boot at a specified time after Linux shuts down?
thanks,
Peter Canning
