How to use the rtcwake command
I would like to get my rtcwake command to wake my computer from sleep at 06:00 the following day.
Here is the command I'm using:
rtcwake -m mem -u -t $(date +%s -d "tomorrow 06:00")
So far it isn't waking. Any ideas?
command-line

posted this for me. I have it in a cronjob and the going to sleep part works but it never wakes up. I have to manually wake it and when i do that the computer says the time is still the time that it went to sleep.

@basketball does the sudo work for you? If not, I'll remove the answer, if it does, would you ask ryanlee to accept the answer? otherwise it will continue to appear as unanswered.
