Of the three commands the first one gets no complaint,
with the second attempt I did add the "sudo" preface
and still I'm denied:<br>
<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ SECS=`date -u --date
"2013-08-29 10:50:00" +%s`<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo echo 0 >
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm<br>
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo echo $SECS >
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm<br>
bash: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: Permission denied<br>
<br>
See! I remain open to suggestions.<br>

This is because the echo is running as root, but the
redirect is not, hence the permission denied. If you want
to use sudo you would need to do something like:<br>
<br>
sudo sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm'<br>
<br>
Or just become root and run the command.<span class=""><font

<div>My son warned me about becoming root, I am still quite
a newbie, and it shows, below is what happened when I
tried the first option:</div>

<div> daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ SECS=`date -u --date

<div>I'm still looking at bricks, this shouldn't be that
complicated, should it?</div>

You seem to be missing the ' marks before the echo and at the end of
the line.<br>
