Wake on Lan

tsull360 · 06-16-2009, 01:34 PM

Hello,
Is there any integrated Wake On Lan capability in PC Remote? For example, I need to connect to a machine but its currently off, can I fire a magic packet to the desired machine to have it wake up?

Thanks,
Tim

not currently - would be a nice feature though

It'd even make a nice add on in the normal UI. Wouldn't necessarily need to be part of an app or anything. pfSense has it set up so that you can click a button next to an IP on the DHCP client list to add a reservation for that IP and then I believe it was on the reservation list that you could click a button next to the reservation to add that mac to the WOL page. Both really convenient features that saved me from typing a bunch of MAC addresses.

Someone could probably even hack together a WOL control page fairly easily. Where's Silver Bullet when you need him?!

from the changelog for 6.2

Wonder where the button is

Reading the bug notes i get the feeling that it is only form the terminal or ssh.

Yes WOL is now integrated into untangle via SSH or Terminal

You can issue the following at the command prompt:

Quote:

wakeonlan -i 192.168.10.255 <mac address>

Works very well. I have not tried to WOL from the terminal to a remote host on the WAN side ... but I do not see why it would not work assuming that you have the correct path and permissions etc.
