 I am not aware of a similar feature as turning itself on, however, you
could simply put the machine to sleep. The power usage is exceedingly small
small, similar to the amount needed by a clock on the wall. There is no real
wait for starting up. Just make sure to turn off the monitor.
 I don't think that exactly does what you were hoping for, however, it will
at least make it less likely that you have time to get some coffee. Miles
