    How to determine Power On cause?

    Does anyone know of a way to determine how the PC/Server was powered on?
    I'm interested in writing a startup script that performs a specific action depending on the poweron cause.

    For example:
    If powered on by "wakalarm" perform task X & shutdown.
    If powered on by "power button" perform task Y.

    Is there any way to determine the cause of the power on?
    I'm running Federa 12.

    Thanks

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    That's a great question. I'm not sure, but I'd like to know also...
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
