  Hey I had the same problem, I built a Cocoa solution using the IOPowerManager interface, dailyWakeup. When periodic daily then runs I have it requeue a request for the next day. I also wrote a GUI interface to the timer queue ( Cocoa based). My main problem is that when I wake the box up, it won't stay awake very long, just three or four minutes even though the energy saver panel is set for 15 minutes.

    Yes, I just saw that yesterday. I was going to ask you if you know why I would have something scheduled for wakeup, that sometimes it won't wake up at all.

      If you look at the system log, I bet it will show the wakeup did take place, it probably went back to sleep before the task fired. I find that I have to fiddle a bit to get the wakeup close enought to task time. Cron only checks one a minute... Jerry

        No, I had the wakeup scheduled hours before it went to sleep, then it went to sleep, and it never woke up hours later, when it was scheduled to.

          This morning I had a wakeup scheduled for about 3:13:45 am
          this was in my system log.

            I'll get back to you hopefully tomorrow ... I am setting it to wake up at 2:55 a.m. tomorrow. My cron job runs every 15 minutes to set it.
