This module provides a wrapper around the "wakeonlan" tool available from most

|
|
|
distributions' package repositories, or from the following website:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use this wrapper, create the ~/.wakeonlan directory, and place in
|
|
|
|
|
that directory one 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 ~/.wakeonlan/leto with the following
|
|
|
|
|
contents:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To wake that device, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# wake leto
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The available device names will be autocompleted, so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# wake <tab>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...will suggest "leto", along with any other configuration files that were
|
|
|
|
|
placed in the ~/.wakeonlan directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information regarding the configuration file format, check the
|
|
|
|
|
wakeonlan man page.
