However, I think that 2nd and subsequent soft power off/on cycles would work if the system would be put in stand-by mode in the right way.
If the system is suspended it is not power on, but resume or wakeup.
Wake-on-USB could be done just as Wake-on-LAN but it would trigger pretty often since USB host controllers are very thin devices, as opposed to a network controller.
I found out that the "apmsleep -s 00:01" (with little 's') does not wake up on either network or usb. However, "apmsleep -S 00:01" does almost what I want. The apmsleep with big S does not seem to shut down hdd, but I can do that using hdparm.
I have problem since the "apmsleep" with big S does not only wake up (correctly) on USB, but also on broadcast network packets! Disabling "wake up on network" in BIOS won't help, nor ethtool
# ethtool -s eth0 wol g Cannot get current wake-on-lan settings: Operation not supported not setting wol # dmesg | grep eth eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at ca812000, 00:A0:CC:62:2B:2A, IRQ 10.
Argh!
