Q: Scheduled Start-up time Ignored
I am running Yosemite 10.10.3 or a Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro.
I set up a schedule so that my laptop shuts down at 2:00a (everyday) and starts up again at 6:30a (everyday) and for the last week it has been shutting down at 2:00a and every morning at 7:00a I have to come in and turn it back on (my computer is plugged in).
I have taken no steps (as of now) to troubleshot/fix the problem because I have no idea what to try (and my google search came back empty handed).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I don't believe so, no. The initial trigger for wake-ups is at a very low level, close to the hardware. Try the following 'resets':
OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
I suspect that if either of these cures the problem it will be the SMC, but I always do them as a pair.
Next, make sure your backup are up to date and then use Disk Utility to check your disk, repair if necessary, and 'repair permissions'
If these rituals don't fix the problem, please open
Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
, paste the following commands, followed by pressing the return key:
pmset -g
pmset -g shed
and then copy and paste the results back to us here.
