Re: PC motherboard with multiple RTC alarms / External RTC device



Hi,
Most (if not all) BIOS's have a "On AC Restoration" (I.e. When
power is
applied), what action should be taken....."Last State",
"Power Off" /
"Power On".   Select "Power On", plug pc into a timer
socket / equivalent,
and it will boot up everytime mains is switched on.

As long as you have a script to shut PC down clearly after it has done its
job, this should be quite elegant (and cheap!).
