|
|
|
To use this wrapper, create the _`~/.wakeonlan`_ directory, and place in it one
|
2012-04-16 12:15:14 +00:00
|
|
|
file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give the file a name
|
|
|
|
that describes the device, such as its hostname.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each file should contain a line with the MAC address of the target device and
|
|
|
|
the network broadcast address. For instance, there might be a file
|
2021-05-05 17:59:01 +00:00
|
|
|
_`~/.wakeonlan/leto`_ with the following contents:

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
```conf
|
|
|
|
00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255
|
|
|
|
```
|
2012-04-16 12:15:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To wake that device, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
2021-05-04 01:59:31 +00:00
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
wake leto
|
2017-07-21 01:07:29 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
