I’m running FreeNAS 9.3 on an ASRock E3C226D2I server board. As the system is mainly used for some scheduled backups (and occasional eBay sniping through jBidwatcher on Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox jail) it is most of the time of and only needs to be powered on at certain times (mainly to save on power).
Is there any method/option inside FreeNAS to start the system at certain times? The BIOS has the "Power On by RTC Alarm" set to "by OS", which should allow FreeBSD to take control. The always on IPMI Interface (computer inside the computer, which can be accessed through a browser GUI even the NAS is currently OFF) allows one to power on the system, but unfortunately has no scheduler. A very basic RTC alarm power on schedule is available in the BIOS, but that is somewhat inconveniently to access and has no calendar.
Ideas?
