Hi,
As I am still on capped downloads and recently downloaded a new OS image
starting after 11pm, but I had to leave the PC on overnight.
As I would like to save a few electrons, I would prefer to start the PC
and then do the download, then stop it after completion.
Had a look at "rtcwake" and will check if my motherboard supports waking
from hibernate/sleep.
I was thinking of using cron/wget/rtcwake to do the job.
Is this a good solution or are there better ways to do it?
If I did as above, would rtcwake switch off the box regardless of
whether the download had been completed?
Regards

I imagine it needs to be run as root (kdesu kget on KDE)
Eddie's suggestion is probably better but is command line, and you'd want
to run it like this:
?sudo bash -c 'wget http://url/file.iso; shutdown -h now'
?

But why run wget as root? You could consider downloading and halting as
two different problems. Then:
As a nonprivileged user:
$ cd /path/to/target
$ wget http://url/file.iso.md5
$ wget http://url/file.iso
As root:
# cd /path/to/target
# while true; do \
if test -e file.iso; then \
if md5sum -c file.iso.md5; then \
shutdown -h now; \
fi; \
fi; \
sleep 5m; \
done
(None of this has been tested -- caveat emptor)

?Seriously?
OK, but I can't have this.
sudo bash -c 'su $SUDO_USER -c wget http://url/file.iso; shutdown -h now'
?
