Dear everybody,

	I was wondering if I will be able to make an arrangement where I can
make my computer turn on/off at certain times. I was looking into:

	Timed power, power turns on at 18.00, machine boots
		Machine does things...
	halt performed at 20.00
	Power shutdown at 20:10

The weak point is of course that to boot the machine I have to press the
"Power" button on the keyboard. Is there a way I can make the machine forget
about the power button at power up time?

This is an upgraded NeXTcube running 2.1

Thanks,
