Hi
,
I want to use Mandriva to automatically start downloading at 2 am and stop it at 8 am (I have DataOne connection). Till now, I have been using Windows because my UPS monitoring software would work only in Windows, and wasn't sure what sort of damage might happen due to a power failure when in Linux. But now, after all these days of using Linux, I feel I'm finally ready. I've learned how to schedule tasks using cron, how to automatically connect and disconnect etc. But one problem still remains - that is how to put the system on standby? What I used to do in Windows was to schedule tasks to start at 2 am, and then every night, I would put the system on standby before going to sleep. By 2 am, the computer would resume from standby, and do what it's supposed to do. I want to achieve the same in Linux. Hibernation works flawlessly in my system. Its the standby part, I can't find. Please help.
