Post subject:  Yet another help me with NVRam thread!

Hey there i have setup knoppmyth on my media box and i have got it all working fine except one issue , i cannot get my machine to wakeup
I am running a MSI 6728 motherboard with the latest knoppmyth on it.

I ran through guess-helper and it did its thing. I used the conf file it created after having to hash out some unknown variables.

New issue now is nvram-wakeup , when i do the test /usr/sbin/nvram-wakeup -A -C /path/to/mymb.conf -s $((`date +%s` + 10 * 60)) it works fine . I followed the mythwelcome / nvram wakeup setup page on the wiki

But mythwelcome and mythtv when its left to shut down by itself , it does not write to the bios , what should i be checking or setting?
Might be something with the way its gererating the wakeup time maybe ?

Have you tried ACPI wakeups?

Did it shutdown correctly (mythwelcome says "shutting down in 30...20...10..." and then it shuts down)?

Have you double checked all the parameters in mythwelcome and mythtv setups? In particular, the time formats and sudo usage.

Did you add sudo rights to the commands (try all the commands from the command line as user mythtv to see if they work)?

If all that is okay, then you are probably going to need to do some debugging. Start with using your own script instead of the nvram wakeup command. Something like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo `date` $0 $@ >> /tmp/alarm
Make sure you make it executable (chmod +x <filename>).
