+The case of the late night system boots

+
+A few weeks back, at around 3:00AM I was woken up by the sounds of a computer booting.  It turned out to be an old Ubuntu desktop in the study.  Since it was storming at the time, I figured it due to a power outage so I shut down the machine and went back to bed.
+
+A couple nights later the same thing happened.  This time I made sure the BIOS on the machine was set to `restore the machine to its previous state after an outage`_ instead of turning it on.  It turned out it was already set to restore the previous state.  Odd, but it was 3:00AM so back to bed I went.
+
+The third time it woke me up was soon during the time `Thinkhost/Dreamhost dropkicked the old site in the gonads`_, and I start freaking out a little - I wasn't
+getting email, my corny vanity site had disappeared and I had a machine turning itself on in the middle of the night.  It was coming out of hibernation when it started,
+so when I noticed it, I was already logged into the console and my 3:00AM self didn't notice any weird activity on the machine.  I poked around on the BIOS again to make 
+sure the `Wake-on-LAN`_ options were not set and powered down the computer.  Still, I started pulling Ethernet cables out before going to bed until I had a chance to really figure out 
+what was going on.
+
+Then over the weekend I had started the machine up and then started some Laundry [*]_.  When I eventually got back to study, the machine it was still one.  I'd been gone long enough that it 
+should have gone into hibernation by then.  I did a 'sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate' manually and it went through its normal hibernate routine, but after it powered down,
+it immediately booted back up again !  
+
+Then it all made sense - the machine had been trying to hibernate and rebooting, then waiting some number of minutes with no keyboard activity and repeating the cycle.  
+If I was sleeping lightly enough at the time , the beeps during the restart would wake me up, otherwise I was sleeping through all the restarts.   Eventually someone in the 
+house would notice the machine was on and shut it down gracefully.  I have no clue how long hibernate had been failing like this.  Weeks at least.
+
+But onto the solution.  I didn't find much on the Internet about the problem (hence this post), but the combination of the `basic-pm-debugging.txt`_ and the 
+`pm-hibernate man page`_ led me to try adding an '/etc/pm/config.d/hibernate file with the contents::
+
+   HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown
+
+With that in place, pm-hibernate went back to working like it used to, and I haven't been woken up by late night restarts since.  
+
+.. [*] For purposes of this blog, 'Laundry' is any non-computer indoor activity and 'Going for a Walk' is any non-computer outdoor activity.

+Cisco Systems, Herndon Virginia (November 2000 – September 2006)
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+........................
+Senior Software Engineer
+........................
+
+__________________________
+Lead Engineer(LMP Feature)
+__________________________
+
+Led development LMP (RFC 4204) feature on the 15454DWDM multi-service transport platform.
+
+- Wrote design document and test plans for the LMP feature.
+
+- Implemented the IDL, CORBA layer, and TL1 (Transaction Language 1 – a widely used telecommunications management protocol) interface code for LMP feature
+
+- Tracked incoming defect reports for the LMP implementation
+
+- Participated in successful interoperability tests with the Calient PXC at the KDDI research labs outside Tokyo. Fixed and retested minor issues on-site during testing.. KDDI was very impressed with the quick turnaround time, saying it had taken a competitor months to make similar changes.
+
+- Trained support engineers in the LMP feature during technology transfer
+
+_________________________________
+Lead Engineer (15600 TL1 Feature)
+_________________________________
+
+Led development for the TL1 interface for the 15600 multi-service transport platform.
+
+- Assigned priorities for TL1-related bugs on the 15600 platform to a team of 7 engineers located in California, Texas, Italy, and India. Remove roadblocks associated with fixing the problems. Adjusted workloads to keep engineers from becoming swamped or burned out. Participated in most code reviews related to the 15600’s TL1 interface.
+
+- Removed 100K SLOC by aligning divergent code bases between the 15454 and 15600 platforms. The common code base freed up engineers who had previously been dedicated to either the 15454 or 15600. Fixing a bug or extending one platform also ended up being reflected on the other platform as well.
+
+- Worked closely with other Cisco sites in Texas, North Carolina, and California, as well as offshore developers in India, and Italy.
+
+________________________________________________
+Software Engineer(15327, 15454, 15600 platforms)
+________________________________________________
+
+Provided full life cycle support across a number of Cisco’s multi-service transport platforms
+
+- Wrote and maintained an extensive TL1 regression test suite in Expect. The test suite originally was meant to provide early testing for OSMINE deliverables. The tests were so successful, they began being used as a stability metric after branch syncs or merges. Before the tests were available, it might be weeks before a sync error was discovered. After the tests were implemented, sync errors were noticed within a day.
+
+- Implemented Telcordia’s COPY-RFILE feature. This was the first time the feature was developed by a vendor. Worked closely with Telcordia engineers to work out the kinks in their specification.
+
+- Resolved 800+ defects over 5 years, making me on of the top 5 contributors on the team. Wrote 700+ defect reports over 5 years despite not being a QA tester. Posted more defects than most of the dedicated testers.
+
+- Participated in multiple OSMINE certification cycles. The OSMINE testing cycle forced code delivery to Telcordia months before the software went through formal QA. This test suite guaranteed high quality software was delivered despite the lack of QA. OSMINE certification cost ~6M, so an unsuccessful certification effort would have been extremely expensive.
+
+- Had to carry a pager once or twice a year on a rotating basis in case any serious problems happened in the field that the regular support engineers couldn't resolve.
