kernel 2.6.23
I want to be able to start one of my machines with RTC Wakeup Alarm but it isn't working and I've just found out why.
If I cd into /sys/class/rtc/rtc0 and set the wakeup time as follows:
echo $(( $(cat since_epoch) + 300 )) > wakealarm
and then look to see what is there:
cat wakealarm
I get something like 2059580189 (which converts to a time in April) whereas from 'cat since_epoch' I get someting like 1204369402 (which converts to the current date/time.
Any ideas as to what may be happening here?
