Main motivation is to remotely wake up a PC prior to trying to access it via remote desktop.
Supports host name resolution (as well as regular IP address) and defaults to port 3389. This will allow it to wake your PC from outside your local firewall (assuming your router has been configured to allow remote desktop connections).
Usage: wol -b BROADCAST_TARGET [-p BROADCAST_PORT] MAC_ADDRESS
