But for that you need to know when is the shabat enter a specific location, so you need extra program for it (even if it's pure bash), to calculate the exact time it started. I think that the berkley should have the exact time and date for each week for that. I agree that you can execute it like so, but it requires a bit more work then what you are pointing out imho.


Thanks everyone for the help, this has really been an education.

In my case, I have a CISCO phone on my kitchen table, which has to get put away when it's shabbat. So before I unplug it I can just dial some number, and have it go into shabbat mode. If I forget, I can go into one of the other rooms with a phone and do it there.

It's not so much that exactly at candle lighting time (at least in my case) that I want the phones to go into shabbat mode, it's when I shut down the computers. which is often earlier. No, I don't shut down all of them. :-)
