Scheduling StartUp and ShutDown

rated 0 times [ 20] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 80932 / 2 Years ago, mon, july 11, 2022, 6:24:01

I use Torrents often, so I need to know how to make my computer start up and shut down automatically, Wi-Fi is switched on at six in the morning in my hotel and switched off at two AM. (I am able to schedule torrents, that's not a problem), I don't want my computer always plugged in to a power supply.

For a one-time shutdown you can use

shutdown -h 02:00

To schedule it you can use cron. There are some GUIs for it like gnome-schedule.

But to start machine on schedule you have to look at BIOS/UEFI settings.

Update: check the answers about MythTV and Wake on Plan below to schedule startup.
