Description Andreas Bayer 2004-06-15 01:42:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be cool, if my notebook would wake up to remind my of a alarm and will go back to suspend after programming the next alarm.

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.

I've got this working on my netbook now, based on the info from the
mythTV folks:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup
I'm currently doing it externally in a cron job, using the following
script:
----------------cut here--------------------
#!/bin/sh
delta=960
nextevent=`konsolekalendar --next  --export-type=csv |
	    sed -e 's/"\([^,]*\)","\([^,]*\)",.*/\1 \2/'|
	    grep 'm$' |
	    head -1`

nextevent=`date --date="$nextevent" "+%s"`
nextevent=`expr $nextevent - $delta`
echo 0                         > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
echo $nextevent                > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
----------------cut here--------------------
This wakes up the laptop 16 minutes (960 seconds) before the next 
calendar event.

To setup for this I had to make /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
be writable, and disable the systohwclock calls as per the mythTV 
discussion.  

In a proper setup, we would update the hardware clock and then set 
the wakeup alarm whenever we either start the reminder daemon, or
whenever we alarm something, or whenever a new alarm comes in.

No worries. I'm simply moving these from the korgac product to korganizer::reminder .  sorry for the noise but I want to have all the reminder bugs located in the same place.
