I just realized the difference between system time and realtime clock.
But there is still a well established interface for that too. It's 
called hwclock and /dev/rtc.

And for the wakeup stuff. Well besides at there is not much of a stable 
interface i guess, besides some acpi and nvram cruft.
I guess a dbus interface suits well for that. But needs to be more 
abstract (register timer for callback/signal, remove timer). :)
But somehow i can't get the at command out of my head...
