Does anyone know of a free (preferably open-source) program that can wake up the computer from sleep/hibernate and do something, like play an alarm sound?

(Yes, this is possible -- Windows's SetWaitableTimer function allows you to set a "resume on sleep" parameter. And yes, I need to actually be able to wake up the computer, so programs that can't do this don't help.)

Windows task scheduler can do this. Run it, click create task, then go to the conditions tab. There's a checkbox for waking the computer to perform the task. You can then have it run a program. It doesn't actually need to be a program, you can just browse to your favorite mp3 file or whatever, and it will run whatever program is associated to play sound files.
