So with my homelab computer, I want to have it so that it stays on during the day, and then at night it will hibernate. Do any of the desktop environments allow you to set this up? Or is there a tool out there that will let me schedule power management in this way?

If you have a big enough swap (bigger than the RAM size) than hybernate will be shown as shutdown option on your desktop like at KDE/Plasma

@ulfi Yeah, that wasn't the question. It was more about being able to schedule it

@thelinuxcast Hi. What OS does your home lab run? Is it a PC or laptop?

@healthiswealth openSUSE on a PC

@thelinuxcast I know Gnome's power management (in Ubuntu at least) has an Automatic Suspend feature but this only appear to be able to do it up to 2 hours of inactivity. I'm assuming OpenSuse has the same or similar? Ever thought about setting up a crobjob using the 'systemctl hibernate' command? You should be able to set the crojob to run whenever you need it to, i.e. every night at 10pm. I may test this out myself to see if it works. Ive never had to but can try... everyday is a school day :)
