<div>Hi Daryl, here you are.<br>
<br>
Operating System: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS<br>
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H<br>
BIOS RTC (real time clock) is set to UTC (not set to localtime)<br>
<br>
The machine is backend and frontend.<br>
Mythshutdown is controlled by mythwelcome.<br>
<br>
Power Management Setup<br>
---------------------------------------<br>
ACPI Suspend Type: S3 (STR)<br>
HPET-Support: Disabled<br>
Power-On by Alarm: Disabled<br>
ErP Support: Disabled<br>
<br>
Hints<br>
-------<br>
1: With HPET-Support and ErP Support enabled all seemed to work
fine, but the system never waked up.<br>
2: Setting a fixed Power-On by Alarm time can get into conflict
with the time mythtv sets. In my case it only works when I disable
it in BIOS.<br>
3: I can only choose between S1 (Power on Suspend) and S3 (Suspend
to RAM) in BIOS. But I always use S5 (Soft Off).<br>

<div>Hello Daryl,<br>
<br>
I did not read the hole thread but I think Michael is
right when pointing to permissions and sudo will be
the solution.<br>
I'm using mythbuntu 12.04 and had to use sudo: search
for sudoers in <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup</a><br>
<br>
I'm using the mythwelcome-mythshutdown-solution, and
had to do several configurations.<br>
(Bios, mythtv-setup, mythwelcome, setwakeup.sh,
sudoers, ...)<br>
<br>
When you are interested I can give you more details of
my setup. Only ask what you need.<br>

<div>Hey Stefan, I would appreciate it if you would share
your Mythtv configuration with me, specifically:
backend>general>Shutdown/Wakeup Options &
Backend Wakeup Settings. The wiki unclear, for me, on some
of those values. Also, does your BIOS use RTC or UTC?</div>

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:~$

sudo echo $SECS >

<br>
See! I remain open to
suggestions.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>

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><font color="#888888"><br>
