Issues with pmset

I can't schedule my Mac to start at 9 AM every day of the week with Mac version Tahoe 26.1

Is FileVault still enabled? By default the installation of Tahoe turns it on. Unless you enter the password immediately after it tries to start up, it will shut back down. If it’s still on, turn it off in privacy and security system settings.

If that’s not it, What command do you enter and what is the response and what does this command return.

pmset -g sched

to add—

Sleep wake schedule via Terminal.app

ref: Schedule your Mac to turn on or off in Terminal - Apple Support

Note —that you may only have one pair of repeating events scheduled

needs to be on one line—

ex

sudo pmset repeat poweron MTWRFSU 6:00:00 shutdown MTWRFSU 21:30:00

ex

pmset repeat wakeorpoweron T 12:00:00 sleep MTWRFSU 20:00:00

It works perfectly! Thank you so much. I'm surprised by what an Apple technician told me: that Poweron no longer works since Tahoe 26.1! Have a good day.

Good computing melicora ! Appreciate your feedback.
