This plugin provides a wrapper around the "wakeonlan" tool available from most | ||
distributions' package repositories, or from the following website: | ||
|
||
http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/ | ||
|
||
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. |
