Hi, I'm trying to see if I can make my computer start up on a schedule. I found the bootsched program for this purpose in the pmac-utils package in Debian Ports. But it doesn't work on my computers; it outputs "bootsched: write returned -1". Here is relevant output from strace: $ sudo strace bootsched +10m ... openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/adb", O_RDWR) = 3 write(3, "\1\3", 2) = 2 read(3, "\1\0\3\333\215i\332", 16) = 7 write(3, "\1\v\333\215l2", 6) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) write(2, "bootsched: write returned -1\n", 29bootsched: write returned -1 ) = 29 exit_group(1) = ? $ uname -a Linux crabapple 5.8.0-1-powerpc #1 Debian 5.8.7-1 (2020-09-05) ppc GNU/Linux This is on a PowerBook G4 12", and I also see the same on a iMac G4 17". Does anyone have ideas for how to make this work? Regards, Charles Lehner
