Why not just use the new RTC drivers and /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm? MythTV already provides seconds since epoch for the wakeup time, so you can use this value without converting it: $ cat /usr/local/bin/myth-setwaketime #!/bin/sh SYSFS_WAKE_FILE="/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" echo -n "Wakeup time is " date -d @$1 if ! test -w "$SYSFS_WAKE_FILE" ; then exit 1 fi echo 0 > "$SYSFS_WAKE_FILE" echo "$1" > "$SYSFS_WAKE_FILE" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
