timed pc power up and down

["seniorsimon" <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Is there a way to configure a pc to either power off, hibernate or
standby at certain times, then turn itself back on at other times.
Obviously I could just use a time switch on the psu, but I need the
pc to shut down first rather than just kill the power.

The idea is I don't want to leave my media pc running all the time,
cos its not used at night or in the day, and its in the loft, so
switching it on manually is a bit of a pain! I do need an override
function, so I can turn it on outside normal running hours if
necessary.

TIA

Simon
