I may have found another solution by using rtcwake and hibernate: rtcwake -m disk -u -t <timestamp> It's a little more complicated, as you first have to generate the correct "number" for the date and time, but the computer then hibernates and when waking up seems to do a regular boot and does not lock the screen. Shutting it down seems to work, but I had to use rc.local to run the shutdown command at boot and as root, so i must not forget to remove this after use... The current method - still being tested - is: - edit /etc/rc.local for shutdown - program Kaffeine for recording - generate the date/time number - run rtcwake with this number The computer then hibernates and (hopefuly) comes back to life at the right time, records and then shuts down.
