If memory serves, I had to put the echo into a script, add that script
and /bin/echo to the sudoers file. The script should be called using
sudo, and the script should call echo using sudo.

Again, if memory serves, mine always has stars if I look at /proc or
the bios. It always wakes up at the right time though.
If you don't get a more definitive answer or solution, I will post
mine when I get home (late tonight).
