Hello! Is it possible to determine the cause for power-on, that is push of power-button on chassis automatic power-on after power-loss (BIOS: return to previous state/on) wake-on-lan wake by RTC / ACPI-alarm etc... I ask because I have a PC which I use for desktop work and for video recording. I'd like my PC to 1. power on via RTC just before a scheduled recording, not starting any desktop environment or server software, 2. start my desktop environment when I push the power-on-button 3. start some server-software when I wake up the PC via wake-on-lan 4. check for scheduled recordings after a power failure and power-off until than. dmidecode -t 1 | grep "Wake-up Type" seems to be static and never changes on my 2 test-pcs and 2 laptops. That you for your advice in advance. Please cc-me on replies since I'm not subscribed to linux-acpi.
