I would like to get my rtcwake command to wake my computer from sleep at 06:00 the following day.

Here is the command I'm using:

rtcwake -m mem -u -t $(date +\%s -d "tomorrow 06:00")

So far it isn't waking. Any ideas?

I dont know why but in order for rtcwake to work inside of cronjob, you must run sudo crontab -e and then pastesudo rtcwake -m mem -u -t $(date +\%s -d "tomorrow 06:00").
