Is there an applescript command that can tell the computer to shut down and start up after a certain amount of time?

It should be pretty obvious that if the computer is shut down, there is no command in the world that can be running on it to tell it anything at all. You have to press the button. Since there's no "On" position you can't even connect a timer switch to turn on the electricity: it won't start unless you press the Power button.

The System Preferences' energy saver pane allows you to schedule a cold start, so I assume that there is some underlying Unix utility that supports it. I just can't find it. It does prove that a shut down computer can, somehow, restart itself.
