you can change the value WAKEUP_BEFORE in nvram-wakeup.h

I don't know what would happen if you set this number to a negative one,
but it doesn't make any sense to set the wakeup time in the past (which
would mean 'next month', as you mentioned in another mail)

I think the shutdown script (the one called by VDR, the one which
calls nvram-wakeup) should check if the time is in the past and decide
what to do. (disable nvram-wakeup? do nothing? just shutdown the box? -
users choice)
