guess

guess(8)							   NVRAM WakeUp 							  guess(8)

NAME

       guess - Tries  to  guess  the configuration by comparing four dumps of the NVRAM.

SYNOPSIS

       guess

DESCRIPTION

       guess  tries to figure out the position of the wakeup time settings in the NVRAM.  Just run guess from within the directory, where the four
       NVRAM dumps at stored as "31.23.59.59+", "11.12.13.14+", "01.00.00.00+" and "01.00.00.00-". The file names denote the wakeup time, you have
       to set manually, before dumping the NVRAM:

       <DD>.<HH>.<MM>.<SS><status>

       <DD> = Day of month

       <HH> = Hour

       <MM> = Minute

       <SS> = Second

       <status> = wakeup enabled (+) or disabled (-)
