Hi,

I have a PC with CentOS 5.4 installed.

I run a "shutdown" command via cron every day at 1pm.

I need to start this PC every day at 11am. I believe this can be accomplished using Wake-On-LAN.

Have a look at your Computer's BIOS. Most BIOS have the feature (RTC) to turn ON the system at a given time. I have been using this feature for quite a few years now.

BIOS companies puts this feature in different places - so you may have to go through all the menus and sub menus.

Absolutely.
