Look at rtcwake and at and cron

Can you show us what you've done/tried to accomplish your goals?? And have you actually thought about what you're asking, and about the MANY ways to accomplish it?? Why can't you write ONE SCRIPT (since they're both shell scripts) that checks the time and acts accordingly?? Or writing one script that checks the time then calls either of the other two scripts, and just put that in cron?

You also don't say how often this script is going to run, but there are literally HUNDREDS of posts on this forum that have many examples on how to use cron in a very granular way...have you done any research of your own? Seems to be a pattern with your posts, where you just say "please help out", but don't show us what you've done first. Read the LQ Rules and the "Question Guidelines".

Like I said before, I'm pretty sure Budikusasi is a computer program that generates nonsense threads.

Notice how it literally never follows up on any of its threads.

Don't think they're a bot, but just someone who can't do their own work. The sad part is, others do it for them, so they have no incentive to NOT come back over and over asking for handouts.

If they actually posted something that showed effort/errors/details, that'd be one thing. But it's always "I have to do XXX, please help out".

@BudiKusasi

Please review the Site FAQ for guidance in asking well formed questions. Especially visit the link from that page, How to Ask Questions the Smart Way for discussion of things to consider when asking others for help.

It is apparent that your behavior here is a concern for other members. Your posting history indeed shows that you almost always ask for a complete solution without showing any effort of your own, and you very rarely respond to those offering help either to interact in producing a solution or even to show the courtesy of saying Thank you.

The LQ Programming forum is a place for sharing knowledge and enthusiasm for computing, learning, teaching and for giving and receiving help with specific problems. But it is not an on demand help desk or a place to have others complete your tasks for you.

Please make effort to be a participant in that process. If you cannot do so you may be asked to find help elsewhere.

This is one of the very few posts it made within the past year that wasn't the start of a new thread.

The question:

"Chess - What's the strongest GUI chess game for Linux ?"

The bot googles the keywords, including "GUI", scrapes the results page, and posts a link.

The link (emphasis in original):

"Stockfish does not include a graphical user interface (GUI)"

I'd say the mask has slipped.

Now, I was on a previous forum where a person was acting like this, to a lesser extreme. One of the comments on that person's behavior was "[username] just likes starting threads (or was it 'just likes asking questions'). Answers are irrelevant." Sure, it could be another one of those types of people, but BudiKusasi reminds me more of bots like these than it does that user:
