I'm looking for similar - the ability to wake-up and put my PC to sleep on a schedule, using a LabVIEW vi. The powercfg commands look useful, but I'm not sure how to use them.
I'm surprised there are so few posts about this. Being single I don't have someone to tell me to get dressed in the morning, so handing over the daily schedule to my PC seems like an obvious solution .. for a scientist.
