but this seems to work only if I put the computer in suspend mode (if I
shutdown the computer does not come back to life). However, when the computer
starts from suspend, the session is locked... and I am not there to unlock
it.
I've searched TDE's control panel without luck. Is there a way to remove the
auto-lock feature?

Thank you, but I allready have autologin and it does not solve the problem as
the lock occurs when I put the computer to "suspend".
I may have found another solution by using rtcwake and hibernate:
rtcwake -m disk -u -t <timestamp>
It's a little more complicated, as you first have to generate the
correct "number" for the date and time, but the computer then hibernates and
when waking up seems to do a regular boot and does not lock the screen.
Shutting it down seems to work, but I had to use rc.local to run the shutdown
command at boot and as root, so i must not forget to remove this after use...
The current method - still being tested - is:
- edit /etc/rc.local for shutdown
- program Kaffeine for recording
- generate the date/time number
- run rtcwake with this number
The computer then hibernates and (hopefuly) comes back to life at the right
time, records and then shuts down.

No question is stupid if you want an answer :)
Well, I use Kaffeine to record Cable Television. Kaffeine (at least in my use)
requires the GUI.
I never looked if there is a possibility to run such a task from the command
line but this would require setting the right channel and recording time and
this is damn easier from the GUI.
Besides, I started with GEM on the Amstrad PC 1512 and while I appreciate the
command line I'm sort of a GUI addict :)
