Can the container cron wake up the host?

[bradbulger]

If the host machine is asleep, what is the state of the container? Is it suspended, or can cron still execute at a given clock time? I would like to run this when I'm not actively using the machine but when I'm not using it, it goes to sleep. Thanks.

During the sleep mode, all processes of your PC will stop, including docker and it's containers. So cron will be suspended as well.

That's how I thought it worked. So I might be able to put a docker exec command in the host's own cron file, which might be able to wake it up, but nothing in the containers is going to affect that.
