wol [OPTION] ... MAC-ADDRESS ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual gives you an introduction into
wol, the Wake On LAN client. It remotely turns on computers that supports Magic Packet technology (also known as Wake On LAN).
Some workstations support SecureON password feature. These machines only wake up if you provide the correct password.
wolalso provides this feature.
OPTIONS
--help | Print a summary of the command line options. |
-V | |
--version |
Print the version number of wol. |
-h HOST | |
--host=HOST | |
-i HOST | |
--ipaddr=HOST |
Broadcast packet to this IP address or hostname. This is important if your wol
client is a multihomed host and you want to send only to one subnet
(default IP address is 255.255.255.255). |
-p NUM | |
--port=NUM |
Send packet with this destination port NUM. This option is important if
your packet filter would block the default destination port 40000. |
-f FILE | |
--file=FILE |
Read hardware addresses, IP addresses/hostnames, optional ports and SecureON
password from file FILE. If FILE is - wolreads from stdin. |
- |
Read hardware addresses, IP addresses, optional ports and optional SecureON
password from stdin. So you can extract MAC-ADDRESSES from any source
and pipe the data into wolso. |
-v | |
--verbose | Turns on verbose output. |
-w NUM | |
--wait=NUM | Waits NUM milliseconds between Magic Packets. Also known as fuse health pack. |
--passwd[=PASS] |
Send a magic packet with SecureON password feature. PASS is written as
x-x-x-x-x-x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff which represents
one byte of the password.
If you dont provide PASS wolprompts you for a password. To set the password of your SecureON capable NIC, you can use ethtool(<http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/>). |
