/ Damien Challet <dchallet@onetel.com> was heard to say:
| In the old thinkpads (600 etc) days, it was possible to set a wake-up tim=
e=20
| with tpctl. I would be very interested to know how to do it with acpi.

Hey, "ACPI". That was the magic word I needed. On my T42p at least,
setting a wakeup time in /proc/acpi/alarm seems to do the trick:

I ran the following command as root:

  date -d "5 minutes" +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" > /proc/acpi/alarm

then suspended my machine. Five minutes later it sprang back to life.
Sweet.

                                          norm
