So my Shuttle box has a BIOS that lacks the options to let it boot from the clock automatically every day. But I have an OpenBSD box that is always on, and I wake the Shuttle up On LAN from there:
In /etc/init.d/wol, put:
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
Then be sure to
sudo chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/wol
sudo update-rc.d wol start 80 S .
Now you can call sudo /etc/init.d/wol manually, or even better, reboot, then shut it down.
On the OpenBSD box, say:
wol -i 129.168.13.247 00:11:22:33:44:55
And the Shuttle boots.
Use crontab -e and put something like:
05 17 * * *
to make it boot daily at five past five p.m.
