NAME

6       wol - Wake On LAN client

SYNOPSIS

9       wol [OPTION] ... MAC-ADDRESS ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual gives you an introduction into "wol", the Wake On LAN
13       client.  It remotely turns on computers that supports Magic Packet
14       technology (also known as Wake On LAN).
15
16       Some workstations support SecureON password feature. These machines
17       only wake up if you provide the correct password. "wol" also provides
18       this feature.

OPTIONS

21       --help
22           Print a summary of the command line options.
23
24       -V
25       --version
26           Print the version number of "wol".
27
28       -h HOST
29       --host=HOST
30       -i HOST
31       --ipaddr=HOST
32           Broadcast packet to this IP address or hostname. This is important
33           if your wol client is a multihomed host and you want to send only
34           to one subnet (default IP address is 255.255.255.255).
35
36       -b HOST
37       --bind=HOST
38           Bind to this IP address or hostname. This allows broadcasting on
39           multihomed hosts by specifying the IP address of the desired
40           outgoing interface.
41
42       -p NUM
43       --port=NUM
44           Send packet with this destination port NUM. This option is
45           important if your packet filter would block the default destination
46           port 40000.
47
48       -f FILE
49       --file=FILE
50           Read hardware addresses, IP addresses/hostnames, optional ports and
51           SecureON password from file FILE. If FILE is - "wol" reads from
52           stdin.
53
54       -   Read hardware addresses, IP addresses, optional ports and optional
55           SecureON password from stdin. So you can extract MAC-ADDRESSES from
56           any source and pipe the data into "wol" so.
57
58       -v
59       --verbose
60           Turns on verbose output.
61
62       -w NUM
63       --wait=NUM
64           Waits NUM milliseconds between Magic Packets. Also known as fuse
65           health pack.
66
67       --passwd[=PASS]
68           Send a magic packet with SecureON password feature. PASS is written
69           as x-x-x-x-x-x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff
70           which represents one byte of the password.
71
72           If you don't provide PASS "wol" prompts you for a password.
73
74           To set the password of your SecureON capable NIC, you can use
75           "ethtool" (<http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/>).
