Description Brock Organ 2000-02-02 21:45:56 UTC 
when running apmsleep on a laptop (digital notebook) like this:

apmsleep +00:01

I notice that after a minute the laptop does not "wake-up"; however, it
does wake up to an event (moving the mouse, for example)

I've tried other apmsleep command lines and found that sometimes it does
wake up after a minute, but most of the time it just waits for me to move
the mouse or explicitly power up or such ...

should the apmsleep call wake itself up automatically every time after
the one minute or are there special conditions (ie bios settings or other)
that may keep that from happening ...

I can't reproduce it on a Gericom 3xC. Could this be a bug in your notebook's
APM BIOS?
