KAlarm During Suspend?

Is there some way that I can get kalarm to wake me up in the morning with my computer suspended?
It would be really nice to not have to keep my computer running all night.

Re: KAlarm During Suspend?

Some bioses allow one to set specific days/times that the computer will automatically come out of hibernate/suspend/a "power off" state.  I have an older asus motherboard here where the bios allows one to specify that the computer power itself "on" when certain conditions exist such as the day is now "Tuesday 4pm", the computer powers up.  It can be scheduled to also execute a power on event on certain days of the month or specific times of day.

I'd investigate that as a possible solution before you go much further as its a simple way to do what you're asking.

Basically, using vim in a highly visual environment with a lot of mouse features feels like soldering a lose wire to a motherboard with a Zippo and a needle, while working with ANY TEXT AT ALL with a "modern GUI" text editor feels like joining the London Philharmonic Orchestra with a Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn Magical Musical Mirror.  --Awebb
