SL5 wake alarm success

leave a comment »

The swsusp wake alarms work on SL5 as they did on FC6 (documented somewhere in the power diary). Good!

# echo "+00-00-00 00:05:00" > /proc/acpi/alarm 

… then suspend the machine, and it’ll wake up 5 minutes later. (With a working amd! And with kerberos tickets refreshed, if you happened to be logged in.)

Stop press: it also works when you hibernate the machine.
