NAME

       power_onoff - timed, automatic system power on, and power off

SYNOPSIS

       time  [date] ] time_designation]

DESCRIPTION

       instructs  the  UPS monitor to shut down the system, and optionally informs the monitor when to power on the system again.  The UPS monitor
       in turn instructs the uninterruptible power source (UPS) when to turn the power off and on.  The UPS monitor then proceeds to shut down the
       system.	The time to restart the system (power on) is specified with command-line arguments.

       Some  UPS units limit the time that can elapse between the time the power is turned off and the time it is turned back on.  Please see your
       UPS documentation for information about limitations.

       requires a UPS that is supported by the UPS monitor (see ups_mond(1M)).

   Command Line Arguments
       The command has two forms, and recognizes the following arguments:

       No power on.
		   Causes the system to be shutdown and not be powered back on.

       time	   Can be specified as one, two, or four digits.  One- and two-digit numbers represent hours; four digits represent hours and min-
		   utes.  time can also be specified as two numbers separated by a colon single quote the letter "h" a period or comma A suffix or
		   can be appended.  Otherwise a 24-hour clock time is understood.  For example, and are read as 15 minutes after 8 in	the  morn-
		   ing.  The suffixes and can be used to indicate Coordinated Universal Time.  The special names and are also recognized.

       date	   Can	be  specified  as  either a day of the week (fully spelled out or abbreviated) or a date consisting of a day, a month, and
		   optionally a year.  The day and year fields must be numeric, and the month can be fully spelled out, abbreviated,  or  numeric.
		   These  three  fields  can be in any order, and be separated by punctuation marks such as slash hyphen period or comma The years
		   00-68 would be interpreted as 2000-2068 and 69-99 would be 1969-1999.  Two special ``days'', and are also  recognized.   If	no
		   date  is given, is assumed if the given time is greater than the current time; is assumed if it is less.  If the given month is
		   less than the current month (and no year is given), next year is assumed.

       or
       If followed by a
		   time_designation of or lets the user startup the system when the specified time_designation has elapsed.  A numerical operator,
		   enables  the  user  to  schedule the startup several hours, days, weeks, months, or years in advance (see EXAMPLES).  Using the
		   argument is equivalent to using an increment of Both plural and singular forms of time_designation are accepted.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

RETURN VALUE

       Exit code 0 is returned upon successful completion, otherwise non 0 is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       issues diagnostic messages when it encounters syntax errors and out-of-range times.

EXAMPLES

       To startup the system at 5:00 am next Tuesday, use

       To startup the system at 5:30 am tomorrow, use

       To make your system startup each weekday at 7:30 am and shutdown at 5:30 pm each week day, use to execute the first entry on Monday through
       Thursday and the second entry on Friday (see crontab(1)).

       To startup the system at 8:15 on January 24, use

       To startup the system at 5:15 on January 24, use

       To startup the system at 9:30 tomorrow, use

       To startup the system 24 hours from now, use

       To shutdown the system and not start it up, use

WARNINGS

       Jobs can be submitted up to 2037. If jobs were submitted any later than 2037, an error message will display "BAD DATE".

       Some  UPS units limit the time that can elapse between the time the power is turned off and the time it is turned back on.  Please see your
       UPS documentation for information about limitations.

       If the date argument begins with a number and the time argument is also numeric (and without suffix), the time argument should be  a  four-
       digit number that can be correctly interpreted as hours and minutes.

       Do not use both and within a single command; only the first operator is accepted and the trailing operator is ignored.  No warning or error
       is produced.

       The power cord must be disconnected before servicing the unit.
