NAME
|
wol – send wake–on–lan Ethernet packet |
SYNOPSIS
|
ip/wol [ –v ] [ –a dialstr ] [ –c password ] macaddr |
DESCRIPTION
|
Wol sends a magic wake–on–lan Ethernet packet to dialstr (default
udp!255.255.255.255!0, the IPv4 broadcast address), intended to
wake up the machine with an Ethernet interface with the MAC address
macaddr. Macaddr is not used to route the packet, but is inserted
into the magic packet as required by the
wake–on–lan protocol.
An optional password of at most six bytes can be sent. The option
–v prints verbose information about the packet sent. |
