I want to create a scheduled task for example to run alarm clock every morning at 8:00.
But i don't wannt to leave my computer on, all the time.

Is it possible to hibernate it and then make it to wake up every morninig at 8:00?
In XP i managed to do that simply by creating Scheduled Task, and enabling wake-up option. So, it is possible.

I tried with apmsleep, but it says:

Your kernel does not support APM.


Any ideas, what can i try next?

Google i love you!

This is the solution:
sudo echo yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss > /proc/acpi/alarm

The computer wakes-up at given time.
So simple :)
