Check out this thread on Macosxhints.com -- looks like someone found a way to get OS X to wake at a pre-determined time in OS X.

Apparently, EyeTV includes a small application called "Wakein" that allows you to set a time for the computer to wake up.

So you'd type:

sudo ./WakeIn 60

to wake in one minute (60 seconds).

Here's the cool part-- according to the thread, running "Wakein" without root privs results in the following:

openDevice() error e00002c1
IOConnectSetCFProperties fails
closeDevice() error 10000003
writePMUProperty AutoWake returned 10000003
openDevice() error e00002c1
IOConnectSetCFProperties fails
closeDevice() error 10000003
writePMUProperty AutoPower returned 10000003
AutoWake property: 1/1/1904 0:00:00
readAutoPowerProperty returned ffffffce

The challenge: Can anyone out there turn this info into the first System Preferences panel that lets you schedule go-to-sleep and wake-from-sleep like in OS 9?

I can look into it, but no promisses. Sounds like a worthy panel though.
