Etherwake Wake On LAN WOL

Post by p310don »

Etherwake is a program to wake on lan other computers on the same network that are turned off or "sleeping". It sends a "magic packet" to the network card of the sleeping PC to bring it back up.

To make it work, the client PC must have wake on lan enabled in the BIOS. You need to know the sleeping PC's MAC address.

Basic usage is:

Code: Select all

etherwake -i eth0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
